You have run-time and compile-time of the C-code and of the OpenCL-code. It is very important to make clear when you talk about compile-time of the kernel as this can be confusing. Compile-time of the kernel is at run-time of the software after the compute-devices have been queried. The OpenCL-compiler can make better optimised code when you give as much information as possible. One of the methods is using Function Qualifiers. A function qualifier is notated as a kernel-attribute:
__kernel __attribute__((qualifier(qualification))) void foo ( …. ) { …. }
There are three qualifiers described in OpenCL 1.x. Let’s walk through them one by one. You can also read them here in the official documentation, with more examples.
Typos are a programmers worst nightmare, as they are bad for concentration. The code in your head is not the same as the code on the screen and therefore doesn’t have much to do with the actual problem solving. Code highlighting in the IDE helps, but better is to use the actual OpenCL compiler without running your whole software: an Online OpenCL Compiler. In short is just an OpenCL-program with a variable kernel as input, and thus uses the compilers of Intel, AMD, NVidia or whatever you have installed to try to compile the source. I have found two solutions, which both have to be built from source – so a C-compiler is needed.
