The Stream Profiler shows the write_imagef()s in my kernel to be using CompletePath even though it does not have any atomic operations. I observe the same behaviour with the MatrixMulImage sample provided with the SDK. Does write_imagef() necessarily imply that the used path will be CompletePath?

Images are typed operations and must use the complete path to get the correct type conversions. The complete path is not just for atomic operations but for any operation that requires hardware support outside of a raw memory read/write.

Thanks Micah. Just what I wanted to know.
