Abstract: An apparatus to facilitate matrix processing is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a matrix accelerator to receive input matrix data, transform the input matrix data into a plurality of sub-blocks, examine a first block of the sub-blocks to determine whether the first block comprises sparse data, select a first tile size upon a determination that the first block comprises sparse data and generate output matrix data based on the first tile size.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for an instruction and associated logic to enable a vector multiply add instructions with automatic zero skipping for sparse input. One embodiment provides for a general-purpose graphics processor comprising logic to perform operations comprising fetching a hardware macro instruction having a predicate mask, a repeat count, and a set of initial operands, where the initial operands include a destination operand and multiple source operands. The hardware macro instruction is configured to perform one or more multiply/add operations on input data associated with a set of matrices.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a graphics processor in which dependency tracking hardware is simplified via the use of compiler provided software scoreboard information. In one embodiment the shader compiler for shader programs is configured to encode software scoreboard information into each instruction. Dependencies can be evaluated by the shader compiler and provided as scoreboard information with each instruction. The hardware can then use the provided information when scheduling instructions. In one embodiment, a software scoreboard synchronization instruction is provided to facilitate software dependency handling within a shader program. Using software to facilitate software dependency handling and synchronization can simplify hardware design, reducing the area consumed by the hardware. In one embodiment, dependencies can be evaluated by the shader compiler instead of the GPU hardware. The compiler can then insert a software scoreboard sync immediate instruction into compiled program code to manage instruction dependencies and prevent data hazards from occurring.
