How do I use local memory in OpenCL?

Question

I\'ve been playing with OpenCL recently, and I\'m able to write simple kernels that use only global memory. Now I\'d like to start using local memory, but I can\'t seem to f

Answer 1

There is another possibility to do this, if the size of the local memory is constant. Without using a pointer in the kernels parameter list, the local buffer can be declared within the kernel just by declaring it __local:

__local float localBuffer[1024];

This removes code due to less clSetKernelArg calls.
