global memory object
Hi folks,
I have a question about refferring/adressing global memory on the device side from Host. Assume I have an single input cl_mem object __global *cldata_in and I have several different kernels(i.e. k1,k2,k3...) need to access to different part of cldata_in memory (e.x. k1 need to access cldata_in[0..100], k2 need to access cldata_in[60..300]...). So is there anyway to refer to pointers to &cldata_in[0], &cldata_in[60]... from the host? Because I want to do something like this:
clSetKernelArg( k1, arg_id1, sizeof(cl_mem), (void *)clmem_pt1);
clSetKernelArg( k2, arg_id2, sizeof(cl_mem), (void *)&clmem_pt2);
where clmem_pt1 and clmem_pt2 should "point" to &cldata_in[0], &cldata_in[60] respectively.
If I cannot referr to different memory location on GPU from host so it likely I have to create separate buffers for each kernel which isn't quite efficient.
Many thanks
