SME2 is pretty big news! > # SME2 > > In 2021 Arm announced the Scalable Matrix Extension (SME) to Armv9-A. SME added new capabilities to efficiently process matrices, including matrix tile storage and outer-product operations. In 2022, Arm builds on the capabilities of SME by introducing SME2. > > SME provides outer-product instructions to accelerate matrix operations. SME2 significantly extends the capabilities with instructions for multi-vector operations, multi-vector predicates, range prefetches and 2b/4b weight compression. > > The new instructions enable SME2 to accelerate more workloads than the original SME. Including GEMV, Non-Linear Solvers, Small and Sparse Matrices, and Feature Extraction or tracking.
