of_bf16_dotp

bfloat16 dot-product unit

Maturity simulatedTargets FPGA + ASICDifficulty MediumPriority 1

N-element bfloat16 dot product with FP32 accumulation, used in AI matrix engines; configurable lane count and pipelining.

Simulated. The RTL is lint clean and passes its self-checking testbench against a reference model in simulation. It has not been run on an FPGA board or in silicon.
