Abstract
In an embodiment, a computation engine may perform computations on input vectors having vector elements of a first precision and data type. The computation engine may convert the vector elements from the first precision to a second precision and may also interleave the vector elements as specified by an instruction issued by the processor to the computation engine. The interleave may be based on a ratio of a result precision and the second precision. An extract instruction may be supported to extract results from the computations and convert and deinterleave the vector elements to provide a compact result in a desired order.
