Optimized compute hardware for machine learning operations

Abstract

One embodiment provides for a compute apparatus to perform machine learning operations, the compute apparatus comprising a fetch unit to fetch a single instruction having multiple input operands, wherein the multiple input operands have an unequal bit-length, a first input operand having a first bit-length and a second input operand having a second bit-length; a decode unit to decode the single instruction into a decoded instruction; an operand length unit to determine a smaller bit-length of the first bit-length and the second bit-length; and a compute unit to perform a matrix operation on the multiple input operands to generate an output value having a bit length of the smaller bit length.
