        <h2>Description</h2>
        <p>
            Memory is allocated in various forms in OpenCL both explicitly (global memory) or implicitly 
            (local, private memory). This allocation so far does not provide a straightforward mechanism to 
            initialize the memory on allocation. In other words what is lacking is the equivalent of calloc for 
            the currently supported malloc like capability. This functionality is useful for a variety of 
            reasons including ease of debugging, application controlled limiting of visibility to previous 
            contents of memory and in some cases, optimization.
        </p>
        <p>
            This extension adds support for initializing local and private memory before a kernel begins 
            execution. This extension name is <code class="code">cl_khr_initialize_memory</code>.

            locations as specified by the bit-field is 
            initialized with zeroes, prior to the start of execution of 
            any kernel. The driver chooses when, prior to 
            kernel execution, the initialization of local and/or
            private memory is performed. The only requirement 
            is there should be no values set from outside 
            the context, which can be read during a kernel execution.
