==Original Abstract Submitted==

Disclosed embodiments relate to computing dot products of nibbles in tile operands. In one example, a processor includes decode circuitry to decode a tile dot product instruction having fields for an opcode, a destination identifier to identify a M by N destination matrix, a first source identifier to identify a M by K first source matrix, and a second source identifier to identify a K by N second source matrix, each of the matrices containing doubleword elements, and execution circuitry to execute the decoded instruction to perform a flow K times for each element (m, n) of the specified destination matrix to generate eight products by multiplying each nibble of a doubleword element (M,K) of the specified first source matrix by a corresponding nibble of a doubleword element (K,N) of the specified second source matrix, and to accumulate and saturate the eight products with previous contents of the doubleword element.
