Abstract

Graphics processors and graphics processing units having dot product accumulate instructions for a hybrid floating point format are disclosed. In one embodiment, a graphics multiprocessor comprises an instruction unit to dispatch instructions and a processing resource coupled to the instruction unit. The processing resource is configured to receive a dot product accumulate instruction from the instruction unit and to process the dot product accumulate instruction using a bfloat16 number (BF16) format.
