Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide for an instruction and associated logic to enable a vector multiply add instructions with automatic zero skipping for sparse input. One embodiment provides for a general-purpose graphics processor comprising logic to perform operations comprising fetching a hardware macro instruction having a predicate mask, a repeat count, and a set of initial operands, where the initial operands include a destination operand and multiple source operands. The hardware macro instruction is configured to perform one or more multiply/add operations on input data associated with a set of matrices.
