<para> <!-- parameter description -->
The number of dimensions used to specify the global work-items and work-items

equal to CL_DEVICE_MAX_WORK_ITEM_DIMENSIONS.

<varname> <!-- parameter name -->
global_work_offset
</varname>
</term>
<listitem>
<para> <!-- parameter description -->
<varname>global_work_offset</varname> can be used to specify an array
of <varname>work_dim</varname> unsigned values that describe the offset used to calculate
the global ID of a work-item. If <varname>global_work_offset</varname> is NULL,
the global IDs start at offset (0, 0, ... 0).

</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term>
<varname> <!-- parameter name -->
global_work_size
</varname>
</term>
<listitem>
<para> <!-- parameter description -->
Points to an array of <varname>work_dim</varname> unsigned values that describe the number of global work-items in <varname>work_dim</varname> dimensions that will execute the kernel function. The total number of global work-items is computed as <varname>global_work_size</varname>[0] *...* <varname>global_work_size</varname>[<varname>work_dim</varname> - 1]. </para>
<para>
The values specified in <varname>global_work_size</varname> + corresponding values specified in <varname>global_work_offset</varname> cannot exceed the range given by the <constant>sizeof(size_t)</constant> for the device on which the kernel execution will be enqueued. The <constant>sizeof(size_t)</constant> for a device can be determined using <constant>CL_DEVICE_ADDRESS_BITS</constant> in the table of OpenCL Device Queries for <citerefentry><refentrytitle>clGetDeviceInfo</refentrytitle></citerefentry>. If, for example, <constant>CL_DEVICE_ADDRESS_BITS</constant> = 32, i.e. the device uses a 32-bit address space, size_t is a 32-bit unsigned integer and <varname>global_work_size</varname> values must be in the range 1 .. 2^32 - 1. Values outside this range return a <constant>CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES</constant> error.

<listitem>
<para> <!-- parameter description -->
Points to an array of <varname>work_dim</varname> unsigned values that describe the number of work-items that make up a work-group (also referred to as the size of the work-group) that will execute the kernel specified by <varname>kernel</varname>. The total number of work-items in a work-group is computed as <varname>local_work_size</varname>[0] *... * <varname>local_work_size</varname>[<varname>work_dim</varname> - 1]. The total number of work-items in the work-group must be less than or equal to the
<constant>CL_DEVICE_MAX_WORK_GROUP_SIZE</constant> value specified in table of OpenCL Device Queries for <citerefentry><refentrytitle>clGetDeviceInfo</refentrytitle></citerefentry> and the number of work-items specified in <varname>local_work_size</varname>[0],... <varname>local_work_size</varname>[<varname>work_dim</varname> - 1] must be less than or
equal to the corresponding values specified by <constant>CL_DEVICE_MAX_WORK_ITEM_SIZES</constant>[0],....
<constant>CL_DEVICE_MAX_WORK_ITEM_SIZES</constant>[<varname>work_dim</varname> - 1]. The explicitly specified <varname>local_work_size</varname> will be used to determine how to break the global work-items specified by <varname>global_work_size</varname> into appropriate work-group instances. If <varname>local_work_size</varname> is specified, the values specified in <varname>global_work_size</varname>[0],... <varname>global_work_size</varname>[<varname>work_dim</varname> - 1] must be evenly divisible by the corresponding values specified in <varname>local_work_size</varname>[0],... <varname>local_work_size</varname>[<varname>work_dim</varname> - 1].</para>
<para>The work-group size to be used for <varname>kernel</varname> can also be specified in the program source using the <constant><citerefentry href="attribute"><refentrytitle>__attribute__</refentrytitle></citerefentry>((reqd_work_group_size(X, Y, Z)))</constant>qualifier. In this case the size of work group specified by <varname>local_work_size</varname> must match the value specified by the <constant>reqd_work_group_size</constant> <citerefentry href="attribute"><refentrytitle>__attribute__</refentrytitle></citerefentry> qualifier.</para>
<para><varname>local_work_size</varname> can also be a NULL value in which case the OpenCL implementation will determine how to be break the global work-items into appropriate work-group instances.</para>
<para>See note for more information.
</para>
<para>
These work-group instances are executed in parallel across multiple compute units or concurrently on the same compute unit.
</para>
<para>
Each work-item is uniquely identified by a global identifier. The global ID, which can be read inside the kernel, is computed using the value given by <varname>global_work_size</varname> and <varname>global_work_offset</varname>. In addition, a work-item is also identified within a work-group by a unique local ID. The local ID, which can also be read by the kernel, is computed using the value given by <varname>local_work_size</varname>. The starting local ID is always (0, 0, ... 0).

<listitem>
<para> <!-- parameter description -->
Specify events that need to complete before this
particular command can be executed. If <varname>event_wait_list</varname> is NULL, then this particular command does not wait on any event to complete. If <varname>event_wait_list</varname> is NULL, <varname>num_events_in_wait_list</varname>
must be 0. If <varname>event_wait_list</varname> is not NULL, the list of events pointed to by <varname>event_wait_list</varname> must be valid and <varname>num_events_in_wait_list</varname> must be greater than 0. The events specified in
<varname>event_wait_list</varname> act as synchronization points. The context associated with events in <varname>event_wait_list</varname> and <varname>command_queue</varname> must be the same.

Returns an event object that identifies this particular kernel execution instance. Event objects are unique and can be used to identify a particular kernel execution instance later on. If <varname>event</varname> is NULL, no event will be created for this kernel execution instance and therefore it will not be possible for the application to query or queue a wait for this particular kernel execution instance.
