Work-Item Built-In Functions

Click an item in the table below for details about that function.

get_work_dim Number of dimensions in use
get_global_size Number of global work items
get_global_id Global work item ID value
get_local_size Number of local work items
get_enqueued_local_size Same as get_local_size(dimindx) if the kernel is executed with a uniform work-group size
get_local_id Local work item ID
get_num_groups Number of work groups
get_group_id Work group ID
get_global_offset Work offset
get_global_linear_id Work-items 1-dimensional global ID
get_local_linear_id Work-items 1-dimensional local ID

Functions enabled with the cl_khr_subgroups extension

get_sub_group_size Number of work-items in the subgroup
get_max_sub_group_size Maximum size of a subgroup
get_num_sub_groups Number of subgroup
get_enqueued_num_sub_groups Number of enqueued subgroups
get_sub_group_id The sub-group ID
get_sub_group_local_id The unique work-item ID within the current subgroup

Description

Built-in work-item functions can be used to query the number of dimensions, the global and local work size specified to clEnqueueNDRangeKernel, and the global and local identifier of each work-item when this kernel is being executed on a device.
