Specification (see <xref linkend="VIPR.intro.links" />)
introduced instructions to accelerate matrix multiplication
computations. These instructions operate both on the VSRs and
on new 512-bit accumulator registers (ACCs). Intrinsic
on eight new 512-bit accumulator registers (ACCs). Intrinsic
functions to access these instructions are described in this
chapter.
</para>
<para>
Although the ACCs are treated as separate registers from the
VSRs, each <code>ACC[i]</code> may use its associated VSRs
<code>4i</code> to <code>4i+3</code> as scratch space. That is,
when <code>ACC[i]</code> contains defined data, the contents of
VSRs <code>4i</code> to <code>4i+3</code> are undefined until
either an <code>xxmfacc</code> instruction is used to copy the
contents of <code>ACC[i]</code> to the VSRs, or some other
instruction directly writes to one of these VSRs.
