Accessing ArrayFire's context, queue, and share data with other OpenCL code.
If your software is using ArrayFire's OpenCL backend, you can also write custom kernels and do custom memory operations using native OpenCL commands. The functions contained in the afcl
namespace provide methods to get the context, queue, and device(s) that ArrayFire is using as well as convert cl_mem
handles to af::array objects.
Please note: the af::array constructors are not thread safe. You may create and upload data to cl_mem
objects from separate threads, but the thread which instantiated ArrayFire must do the cl_mem
to af::array conversion.
Create an af::array object from an OpenCL cl_mem buffer.
- Parameters
-
[in] | idims | the dimensions of the buffer |
[in] | buf | the OpenCL memory object |
[in] | type | the data type contained in the buffer |
[in] | retain | if true, instructs ArrayFire to retain the memory object |
- Returns
- an array object created from the OpenCL buffer
- Note
- Set
retain
to true if the memory originates from a cl::Buffer object
- Examples:
- brain_segmentation.cpp, histogram.cpp, image_demo.cpp, integer.cpp, morphing.cpp, and optical_flow.cpp.

|
|
inlinestatic |
Get a handle to ArrayFire's OpenCL context.
- Parameters
-
