Abstract
Techniques for performing square root or reciprocal square root calculations on BF16 data elements in response to an instruction are described. An example of an instruction is one that includes fields for an opcode, an identification of a location of a packed data source operand, and an identification of a packed data destination operand, wherein the opcode is to indicate that execution circuitry is to perform, for each data element position of the packed data source operand, a calculation of a square root value of a BF16 data element in that position and store a result of each square root into a corresponding data element position of the packed data destination operand.
