BFDOT (by element)

BFloat16 floating-point dot product (vector, by element). This instruction delimits the source vectors into pairs of 16-bit BF16 elements. Each pair of elements in the first source vector is multiplied by the specified pair of elements in the second source vector. The resulting single-precision products are then summed and added destructively to the single-precision element of the destination vector that aligns with the pair of BF16 values in the first source vector. The instruction ignores the FPCR and does not update the FPSR exception status.

The BF16 pair within the second source vector is specified using an immediate index. The index range is from 0 to 3 inclusive. ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1.BF16 indicates whether this instruction is supported.

Operation

CheckFPAdvSIMDEnabled64(); bits(datasize) operand1 = V[n]; bits(128) operand2 = V[m]; bits(datasize) operand3 = V[d]; bits(datasize) result; for e = 0 to elements-1 bits(16) elt1_a = Elem[operand1, 2 * e + 0, 16]; bits(16) elt1_b = Elem[operand1, 2 * e + 1, 16]; bits(16) elt2_a = Elem[operand2, 2 * i + 0, 16]; bits(16) elt2_b = Elem[operand2, 2 * i + 1, 16]; bits(32) sum = Elem[operand3, e, 32]; sum = BFDotAdd(sum, elt1_a, elt1_b, elt2_a, elt2_b, FPCR[]); Elem[result, e, 32] = sum; V[d] = result;
