  • Publication number: 20220207107
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for complex matrix multiplication. For example, one embodiment of a processor comprises: a decoder to decode a first complex matrix multiplication instruction; execution circuitry to execute the first complex matrix multiplication instruction, the execution circuitry comprising parallel multiplication circuitry to multiply real values from the first plurality of real and imaginary values with corresponding real values from the second plurality of real and imaginary values to generate a first plurality of real products, to multiply imaginary values from the first plurality of real and imaginary values with corresponding imaginary values from the second plurality of real and imaginary values to generate a second plurality of real products; and addition/subtraction circuitry to subtract each real product in the second plurality of real products from a corresponding real product in the first plurality of real products to produce a corresponding real value in the result matrix.
