atomic_work_item_fence

atomic_work_item_fence functions.

void atomic_work_item_fence ( cl_mem_fence_flags flags,
  memory_order order,
  memory_scope scope)

Parameters

flags

Must be set to CLK_GLOBAL_MEM_FENCE, CLK_LOCAL_MEM_FENCE, CLK_IMAGE_MEM_FENCE or a combination of these values ORed together; otherwise the behavior is undefined. The behavior of calling atomic_work_item_fence with CLK_GLOBAL_MEM_FENCE, CLK_LOCAL_MEM_FENCE or CLK_IMAGE_MEM_FENCE ORed together is equivalent to calling atomic_work_item_fence individually for each of the fence values set in flags.

order
scope

Description

Depending on the value of order, this operation:

  • has no effects, if order == memory_order_relaxed.

  • is an acquire fence, if order == memory_order_acquire.

  • is a release fence, if order == memory_order_release.

  • is both an acquire fence and a release fence, if order == memory_order_acq_rel.

  • is a sequentially consistent acquire and release fence, if order == memory_order_seq_cst.

For images declared with the read_write qualifier, the atomic_work_item_fence must be called to make sure that writes to the image by a work-item become visible to that workitem on subsequent reads to that image by that work-item.
