<entry><constant>CL_KERNEL_WORK_GROUP_SIZE</constant></entry>
<entry>size_t</entry>
<entry>
This provides a mechanism for the
application to query the maximum work-group size
that can be used to execute a kernel on a
specific device given by <varname>device</varname>. The
OpenCL implementation uses the
resource requirements of the kernel
(register usage etc.) to determine what
this work-group size should be.
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry><constant>CL_KERNEL_COMPILE_WORK_GROUP_SIZE</constant></entry>
<entry>size_t[3]</entry>
<entry>
Returns the work-group size specified
by the <constant>__attribute__((reqd_work_gr
oup_size(X, Y, Z)))</constant> qualifier.
See <citerefentry href="functionQualifiers"><refentrytitle>Function Qualifiers</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
If the work-group size is not specified
using the above attribute qualifier (0, 0,
0) is returned.
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry><constant>CL_KERNEL_LOCAL_MEM_SIZE</constant></entry>
<entry>cl_ulong</entry>
<entry>
<para>
Returns the amount of local memory in
bytes being used by a kernel. This
includes local memory that may be
needed by an implementation to execute
the kernel, variables declared inside the
kernel with the <citerefentry href="local"><refentrytitle>__local</refentrytitle></citerefentry> address
qualifier and local memory to be
allocated for arguments to the kernel
declared as pointers with the <citerefentry href="local"><refentrytitle>__local</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
address qualifier and whose size is
specified with <citerefentry><refentrytitle>clSetKernelArg</refentrytitle></citerefentry>.
</para>
<para>
If the local memory size, for any pointer
argument to the kernel declared with the
<citerefentry href="local"><refentrytitle>__local</refentrytitle></citerefentry> address qualifier, is not
specified, its size is assumed to be 0.
</para>
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry><constant>CL_KERNEL_PREFERRED_WORK_GROUP_SIZE_MULTIPLE</constant></entry>
<entry>size_t</entry>
<entry>
Returns the preferred multiple of workgroup size for launch. This is
a performance hint. Specifying a workgroup size that is not a multiple
of the value returned by this query as the value of the local work size argument
to <citerefentry><refentrytitle>clEnqueueNDRangeKernel</refentrytitle></citerefentry>will
not fail to enqueue the kernel for execution unless the work-group size specified is
larger than the device maximum.
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<entry><constant>CL_KERNEL_PRIVATE_MEM_SIZE</constant></entry>
<entry>cl_ulong</entry>
<entry>
Returns the minimum amount of private memory, in bytes, used by each workitem in the
kernel. This value may include any private memory needed by an implementation to
execute the kernel, including that used by the language built-ins and variable declared
inside the kernel with the <citerefentry href="private"><refentrytitle>__private</refentrytitle></citerefentry> qualifier.
