AVX-512 BFloat16 Instructions (AVX512_BF16) is an x86 extension, part of AVX-512, designed to accelerate neural network-based algorithms by performing dot-product on bfloat16.

Overview

The AVX512 BF16 x86 extension extends AVX-512 Foundation by introducing three new instructions for converting and operating on bfloat16.

  • VCVTNE2PS2BF16 - Convert two SIMD registers with packed single-precision floating point values to bfloat16 packed in a single register.
  • VCVTNEPS2BF16 - Convert one SIMD register with packed single-precision floating-point values to bfloat16 packed in a single register.
  • VDPBF16PS - Performs a SIMD dot-product on bfloat16 pairs and accumulates the results into a packaged single-precision register.

Motivation

See bfloat16 § Motivation.
