SYSTEMS FOR PERFORMING INSTRUCTIONS TO QUICKLY CONVERT AND USE TILES AS 1D VECTORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240103867 titled 'SYSTEMS FOR PERFORMING INSTRUCTIONS TO QUICKLY CONVERT AND USE TILES AS 1D VECTORS
Simplified Explanation
The disclosed embodiments relate to systems for quickly converting and using matrices as one-dimensional vectors. In one example, a processor includes fetch circuitry to fetch an instruction specifying an opcode, locations of a 2D matrix and a 1D vector, and a group of elements from the matrix. The opcode indicates a move of the specified group between the 2D matrix and the 1D vector. Decode circuitry decodes the fetched instruction, and execution circuitry moves contents of the specified 1D vector to the specified group of elements when the opcode specifies a move from 1D.

Original Abstract Submitted
disclosed embodiments relate to systems for performing instructions to quickly convert and use matrices (tiles) as one-dimensional vectors. in one example, a processor includes fetch circuitry to fetch an instruction having fields to specify an opcode, locations of a two-dimensional (2d) matrix and a one-dimensional (1d) vector, and a group of elements comprising one of a row, part of a row, multiple rows, a column, part of a column, multiple columns, and a rectangular sub-tile of the specified 2d matrix, and wherein the opcode is to indicate a move of the specified group between the 2d matrix and the 1d vector, decode circuitry to decode the fetched instruction; and execution circuitry, responsive to the decoded instruction, when the opcode specifies a move from 1d, to move contents of the specified 1d vector to the specified group of elements.
