| <para> |
| The user is responsible for ensuring that data passed into and out of OpenCL images are natively |
| aligned relative to the start of the buffer as per kernel language or IL requirements. OpenCL |
| buffers created with <constant>CL_MEM_USE_HOST_PTR</constant> need to provide an appropriately aligned host |
| memory pointer that is aligned to the data types used to access these buffers in a kernel(s). |
| </para> |
| |
| <para> |
| If <function>clCreateBuffer</function> is called with a pointer |
| returned by <function>clSVMAlloc</function> as its |
| <varname>host_ptr</varname> argument, and |
| <constant>CL_MEM_USE_HOST_PTR</constant> is set in its |
| <varname>flags</varname> argument, <function>clCreateBuffer</function> |
| will succeed and return a valid non-zero buffer |
| object as long as the <varname>size</varname> argument to |
| <function>clCreateBuffer</function> is no larger than the |
| <varname>size</varname> argument passed in the original |
| <function>clSVMAlloc</function> call. The new buffer object returned has the |
| shared memory as the underlying storage. Locations in |
| the buffer's underlying shared memory |
| can be operated on using atomic operations to the device's |
| level of support as defined in the |
| memory model. |
