Abstract
An apparatus to facilitate machine learning matrix processing is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a memory to store matrix data one or more processors to execute an instruction to examine a message descriptor included in the instruction to determine a type of matrix layout manipulation operation that is to be executed, examine a message header included in the instruction having a plurality of parameters that define a two-dimensional (2D) memory surface that is to be retrieved, retrieve one or more blocks of the matrix data from the memory based on the plurality of parameters and a register file including a plurality of registers, wherein the one or more blocks of the matrix data is stored within a first set of the plurality of registers.
