VDOT (by element)

BFloat16 floating-point indexed 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 indexed pair of elements in the second source vector. The resulting single-precision products are then summed and added destructively to the single-precision element in the destination vector which aligns with the pair of BFloat16 values in the first source vector. The instruction does not update the FPSCR exception status.

It has encodings from the following instruction sets: A32 ( A1 ) and T32 ( T1 ) .

Operation

bits(64) operand1; bits(64) operand2; bits(64) result; CheckAdvSIMDEnabled(); operand2 = Din[m]; for r = 0 to regs-1 operand1 = Din[n+r]; result = Din[d+r]; for e = 0 to 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 = FPAdd_BF16(BFMulH(elt1_a, elt2_a), BFMulH(elt1_b, elt2_b)); Elem[result, e, 32] = FPAdd_BF16(Elem[result, e, 32], sum); D[d+r] = result;
