Zusammenfassung:Disclosed embodiments relate to executing a vector unsigned multiplication and accumulation instruction. In one example, a processor includes fetch circuitry to fetch a vector unsigned multiplication and accumulation instruction having fields for an opcode, first and second source identifiers, a destination identifier, and an immediate, wherein the identified sources and destination are same-sized registers, decode circuitry to decode the fetched instruction, and execution circuitry to execute the decoded instruction, on each corresponding pair of first and second quadwords of the identified first and second sources, to: generate a sum of products of two doublewords of the first quadword and either two lower words or two upper words of the second quadword, based on the immediate, zero-extend the sum to a quadword-sized sum, and accumulate the quadword-sized sum with a previous value of a destination quadword in a same relative register position as the first and second quadwords.
