    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for tagged memory management, an embodiment including execution circuitry to generate a system memory access request having a first address pointer and address translation circuitry to determine whether to translate the first address pointer with metadata processing. The address translation circuitry is to access address translation tables to translate the first address pointer to a first physical address, perform a lookup in a memory metadata table to identify a memory metadata value associated with a physical address range including the first physical address, determine a pointer metadata value associated with the first address pointer, and compare the memory metadata value with the pointer metadata value; and when the comparison results in a validation of the memory access request, then return the first physical address.

    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods for performing instructions specifying horizontal tile operations. In one example, a processor includes fetch circuitry to fetch an instruction specifying a horizontal tile operation, a location of a M by N source matrix comprising K groups of elements, and locations of K destinations, wherein each of the K groups of elements comprises the same number of elements, decode circuitry to decode the fetched instruction, and execution circuitry to respond to the decoded instruction by generating K results, each result being generated by performing the specified horizontal tile operation across every element of a corresponding group of the K groups, and writing each generated result to a corresponding location of the K specified destination locations.
