Hi Micah,
Thanks for your reply. It's great that one can both read and write to a global buffer. However, having tried to play with them a bit, I am still a bit confused and wonder if you could shed any light on the following:
They always seem to be addressed in IL as 1D things, so does it make much difference if they are allocated in CAL as 1D or 2D local resources using calResAllocLocal1D/2D with the global buffers flag, and should/does the 8192 size limit on dimensions still apply? (I think the hardware guide says that global buffers are limited only to the size of the local memory.) The hardware guide also talks about cached vs uncached reads of a global buffer; how does one decide or control which to use?
Thanks a lot,
Steven.
