BFMMLA (widening)

BFloat16 matrix multiply-accumulate to single-precision

If FEAT_EBF16 is not implemented or FPCR.EBF is 0, this instruction:

If FEAT_EBF16 is implemented and FPCR.EBF is 1, then this instruction:

Irrespective of FEAT_EBF16 and FPCR.EBF, this instruction:

ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1.BF16 indicates whether this instruction is supported.

Encoding

BFMMLA <Vd>.4S, <Vn>.8H, <Vm>.8H

Decode for this encoding

if !IsFeatureImplemented(FEAT_BF16) then EndOfDecode(Decode_UNDEF); end; let d : integer{} = UInt(Rd); let n : integer{} = UInt(Rn); let m : integer{} = UInt(Rm);

Assembler Symbols

<Vd>

Is the name of the SIMD&FP third source and destination register, encoded in the "Rd" field.

<Vn>

Is the name of the first SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "Rn" field.

<Vm>

Is the name of the second SIMD&FP source register, encoded in the "Rm" field.

Operational information

Arm expects that the BFMMLA instruction will deliver a peak BFloat16 multiply throughput that is at least as high as can be achieved using two BFDOT (vector) instructions, with a goal that it should have significantly higher throughput.
