Abstract
Techniques for performing BF16 FMA in response to an instruction are described. In some examples, an instruction has fields for an opcode, an identification of location of a packed data source/destination operand (a first source), an identification of a location of a second packed data source operand, an identification of a location of a third packed data source operand, and an identification of location of a packed data source/destination operand, wherein the opcode is to indicate operand ordering and that execution circuitry is to, per data element position, perform a BF16 value fused multiply-accumulate operation using the first, second, and third source operands and store a result in a corresponding data element position of the source/destination operand.
