Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to systems and methods to performing instructions structured to compute a plurality of cryptic rounds of the block cipher. In one example, a processor includes fetch and decode circuitry to fetch and decode a single instruction comprising a first field to identify a destination of a first operand, a second field to identify a source of a second operand comprising an input state, a third field to identify a source of a third operand comprising a round key. The processor includes execution circuitry to execute the decoded instruction to compute a plurality of cryptic rounds of the block cipher by performing a round function on data elements of the second operand and the third operand to generate a word.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to performing floating-point addition with selected rounding. In one example, a processor includes circuitry to decode and execute an instruction specifying locations of first and second floating-point (FP) sources, and an opcode indicating the processor is to: bring the FP sources into alignment by shifting a mantissa of the smaller source FP operand to the right by a difference between their exponents, generating rounding controls based on any bits that escape; simultaneously generate a sum of the FP sources and of the FP sources plus one, the sums having a fuzzy-Jbit format having an additional Jbit into which a carry-out, if any, select one of the sums based on the rounding controls, and generate a result comprising a mantissa-wide number of most-significant bits of the selected sum, starting with the most significant non-zero Jbit.
