摘要： A processing device to provide vectorization of conditional loops includes vector physical registers to store a source vector having a first plurality of n data fields, and a destination vector comprising a second plurality of data fields corresponding to the first plurality of data fields, wherein each of the second plurality of data fields corresponds to a mask value in a vector conditions mask. The processing device includes a decode stage to decode a first processor instruction specifying a vector expand operation and a data partition size, and execution units to set elements of the source vector to n count values, obtain a decisions vector, generate the vector conditions mask according to the decisions vector, and copy data from consecutive vector elements in the source vector, into unmasked vector elements of the destination vector, without copying data from the source vector into masked vector elements of the destination vector.

摘要： Receive packed data operation mask comparison instruction indicating first packed data operation mask having first packed data operation mask bits and second packed data operation mask having second packed data operation mask bits. Each packed data operation mask bit of first mask corresponds to a packed data operation mask bit of second mask in corresponding position. Modify first flag to first value if bitwise AND of each packed data operation mask bit of first mask with each corresponding packed data operation mask bit of second mask is zero. Otherwise modify first flag to second value. Modify second flag to third value if bitwise AND of each packed data operation mask bit of first mask with bitwise NOT of each corresponding packed data operation mask bit of second mask is zero. Otherwise modify second flag to fourth value.

摘要： Embodiments detailed herein relate to matrix operations. In particular, the loading of a matrix (tile) from memory. For example, support for a loading instruction is described in the form of decode circuitry to decode an instruction having fields for an opcode, a destination matrix operand identifier, and source memory information, and execution circuitry to execute the decoded instruction to load groups of strided data elements from memory into configured rows of the identified destination matrix operand to memory.

摘要： An apparatus is described that includes an execution unit to execute a first instruction and a second instruction. The execution unit includes input register space to store a first data structure to be replicated when executing the first instruction and to store a second data structure to be replicated when executing the second instruction. The first and second data structures are both packed data structures. Data values of the first packed data structure are twice as large as data values of the second packed data structure. The execution unit also includes replication logic circuitry to replicate the first data structure when executing the first instruction to create a first replication data structure, and, to replicate the second data structure when executing the second data instruction to create a second replication data structure. The execution unit also includes masking logic circuitry to mask the first replication data structure at a first granularity and mask the second replication data structure at a second granularity. The second granularity is twice as fine as the first granularity.

摘要： Embodiments of an invention a processor architecture are disclosed. In an embodiment, a processor includes a decoder, an execution unit, a coherent cache, and an interconnect. The decoder is to decode an instruction to zero a cache line. The execution unit is to issue a write command to initiate a cache line sized write of zeros. The coherent cache is to receive the write command, to determine whether there is a hit in the coherent cache and whether a cache coherency protocol state of the hit cache line is a modified state or an exclusive state, to configure a cache line to indicate all zeros, and to issue the write command toward the interconnect. The interconnect is to, responsive to receipt of the write command, issue a snoop to each of a plurality of other coherent caches for which it must be determined if there is a hit.

摘要： A processor includes a first mode where the processor is not to use packed data operation masking, and a second mode where the processor is to use packed data operation masking. A decode unit to decode an unmasked packed data instruction for a given packed data operation in the first mode, and to decode a masked packed data instruction for a masked version of the given packed data operation in the second mode. The instructions have a same instruction length. The masked instruction has bit(s) to specify a mask. Execution unit(s) are coupled with the decode unit. The execution unit(s), in response to the decode unit decoding the unmasked instruction in the first mode, to perform the given packed data operation. The execution unit(s), in response to the decode unit decoding the masked instruction in the second mode, to perform the masked version of the given packed data operation.
