Hardware
Three names the instruction pages use.
-
Register (Z / scalar)
Temporary slots that hold numbers.
-
ZA (za0…)
The SME matrix accumulate tile; FMOPA writes into it.
-
Compute unit
The hardware that does the multiply-add; the instruction schedules it.
At SVL = 128 bits, a Z vector holds four numbers.
