Hi!

Is it possible for the contents of local memory to be used by the next kernel in the que? As I understand each compute unit has its own local memory and this is not possible.

Is it possible to query within the kernel the size of the local memory allocated when the clSetKernelArg was called?

Thanks!

No, local data share is not preserved between dispatches.  Regarding your other question, you can pass in the size of the buffer as a parameter.

it is possible look at clGetKernelWorkGroupInfo(...CL_KERNEL_LOCAL_MEM_SIZE...)

Jeff's answer tell how to query size of LDS inside the kernel and nou's solution is to know LDS used from runtime code.
