BFMMLA
BFloat16 floating-point matrix multiply-accumulate into 2x2 matrix.
If FEAT_EBF16 is not implemented or FPCR.EBF is 0,
this instruction:
-
Performs two unfused sums-of-products within each two pairs of
adjacent BFloat16 elements while multiplying the 2x4
matrix of BFloat16 values in the first source vector with the
4x2 matrix of BFloat16 values in the second source vector. The
intermediate single-precision products are rounded before they
are summed and the intermediate sum is rounded before accumulation
into the 2x2 single-precision matrix in the destination vector.
This is equivalent to accumulating two 2-way unfused dot products
per destination element.
-
Uses the non-IEEE 754 Round-to-Odd rounding mode, which forces bit 0
of an inexact result to 1, and rounds an overflow to an
appropriately signed Infinity.
-
Flushes denormalized inputs and results to zero, as if
FPCR.{FZ, FIZ} is {1, 1}.
-
Disables alternative floating point behaviors, as if
FPCR.AH is 0.
If FEAT_EBF16 is implemented and FPCR.EBF is 1,
then this instruction:
-
Performs two fused sums-of-products within each two pairs of
adjacent BFloat16 elements while multiplying the 2x4
matrix of BFloat16 values in the first source vector with the
4x2 matrix of BFloat16 values in the second source vector. The
intermediate single-precision products are not rounded before they
are summed, but the intermediate sum is rounded before accumulation
into the 2x2 single-precision matrix in the destination vector.
This is equivalent to accumulating two 2-way fused dot products
per destination element.
-
Follows all other floating-point behaviors that apply to
single-precision arithmetic, as governed by FPCR.RMode,
FPCR.FZ, FPCR.AH, and
FPCR.FIZ.
Irrespective of FEAT_EBF16 and FPCR.EBF, this instruction:
-
Does not modify the cumulative FPSR
exception bits (IDC, IXC, UFC, OFC, DZC, and IOC).
-
Disables trapped floating-point exceptions, as if the
FPCR trap enable bits
(IDE, IXE, UFE, OFE, DZE, and IOE) are all zero.
-
Generates only the default NaN, as if FPCR.DN
is 1.
ID_AA64ISAR1_EL1.BF16 indicates whether this instruction is supported.

Operation
CheckFPAdvSIMDEnabled64();
bits(128) op1 = V[n, 128];
bits(128) op2 = V[m, 128];
bits(128) acc = V[d, 128];
V[d, 128] = BFMatMulAdd(acc, op1, op2, FPCR);
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.
