<row>
<entry><constant>CL_KERNEL_GLOBAL_WORK_SIZE</constant></entry>
<entry>size_t[3]</entry>
<entry>
This provides a mechanism for the application to query the maximum global
size that can be used to execute a kernel (i.e. <varname>global_work_size</varname>
argument to <citerefentry><refentrytitle>clEnqueueNDRangeKernel</refentrytitle></citerefentry>)
on a custom device given by <varname>device</varname> or a built-in kernel on an OpenCL device
given by <varname>device</varname>.
<para>
If <varname>device</varname> is not a custom device
or <varname>kernel</varname> is not a built-in kernel,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>clGetKernelArgInfo</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
returns the error <constant>CL_INVALID_VALUE</constant>.
</para>
</entry>
</row>
<row>
<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_group_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.
