Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses relating to multiple source blend operations are described. In one embodiment, a processor is to execute an instruction to: receive a first input operand of a first input vector, a second input operand of a second input vector, and a third input operand of a third input vector, compare each element from the first input vector to each corresponding element of the second input vector to produce a first comparison vector, compare each element from the first input vector to each corresponding element of the third input vector to produce a second comparison vector, compare each element from the second input vector to each corresponding element of the third input vector to produce a third comparison vector, determine a middle value for each element position of the input vectors from the comparison vectors, and output the middle values into same element positions in an output vector.
