Abstract

One embodiment provides an accelerator module comprising a memory stack including multiple memory dies; a graphics processing unit (GPU) coupled with the memory stack via one or more memory controllers, the GPU including a plurality of multiprocessors having a single instruction, multiple thread (SIMT) architecture, the multiprocessors to execute at least one single instruction. The at least one single instruction is to cause at least a portion of the GPU to perform a floating point operation on input having differing precisions. The floating point operation is a two-dimensional matrix multiply and accumulate operation.
