'''{{x86|AVX-512}} Vector Neural Network Instructions''' ('''AVX512 VNNI''') is an [[x86]] extension, part of the {{x86|AVX-512}}, designed to accelerate [[convolutional neural network]]-based [[algorithms]].
 
'''{{x86|AVX-512}} Vector Neural Network Instructions''' ('''AVX512 VNNI''') is an [[x86]] extension, part of the {{x86|AVX-512}}, designed to accelerate [[convolutional neural network]]-based [[algorithms]].
  
== Overview ==
+
[[category:x86]]
The '''AVX512 VNNI''' [[x86]] {{x86|extension}} extends {{x86|AVX512F|AVX-512 Foundation}} by introducing four new instructions for accelerating inner [[convolutional neural network]] loops.
 
 
 
* <code>VPDPBUSD</code> - Multiplies the individual bytes (8-bit) of the first source operand by the corresponding bytes (8-bit) of the second source operand, producing intermediate word (16-bit) results which are summed and accumulated in the double word (32-bit) of the destination operand.
 
** <code>VPDPBUSDS</code> - Same as above except on intermediate sum overflow which saturates to 0x7FFF_FFFF/0x8000_0000 for positive/negative numbers.
 
* <code>VPDPWSSD</code> - Multiplies the individual words (16-bit) of the first source operand by the corresponding word (16-bit) of the second source operand, producing intermediate word results which are summed and accumulated in the double word (32-bit) of the destination operand.
 
** <code>VPDPWSSDS</code> - Same as above except on intermediate sum overflow which saturates to 0x7FFF_FFFF/0x8000_0000 for positive/negative numbers.
 
 
 
== Motivation ==
 
The major motivation behind the AVX512 VNNI extension is the observation that many tight [[convolutional neural network]] loops require the repeated multiplication of two 16-bit values or two 8-bit values and accumulate the result to a 32-bit accumulator. Using the {{x86|AVX512F|foundation AVX-512}}, for 16-bit, this is possible using two instructions - <code>VPMADDWD</code> which is used to multiply two 16-bit pairs and add them together followed a <code>VPADDD</code> which adds the accumulate value.

Likewise, for 8-bit values, three instructions are needed - <code>VPMADDUBSW</code> which is used to multiply two 8-bit pairs and add them together, followed by a <code>VPMADDWD</code> with the value <code>1</code> in order to simply up-convert the 16-bit values to  32-bit values, followed by the <code>VPADDD</code> instruction which adds the result to an accumulator.
 
 
 
:[[File:vnni-vpdpbusd.svg|600px]]
 
 
 
To address those two common operations, two new instructions were added (as well as two saturated versions): <code>VPDPBUSD</code> fuses <code>VPMADDUBSW</code>, <code>VPMADDWD</code>, and <code>VPADDD</code> and <code>VPDPWSSD</code> fuses <code>VPMADDWD</code> and <code>VPADDD</code>.

== Detection ==
 
Support for these instructions is indicated by the AVX512_VNNI feature flag. 128- and 256-bit vectors are supported if the AVX512VL flag is set as well.
 
 
 
The {{x86|AVX-VNNI}} extension adds AVX (VEX encoded) versions of these instructions operating on 128- and 256-bit vectors.
