5. The OpenCL Runtime

OpenCL objects: memory objects, program objects, kernel objects, command-queues, others?

5.1 Command Queues

use context to create memory, program, kernel objects, and operations on these objects are performed using a *command-queue*.

One application can have multiple command-queues to queue indepedent commands without requiring synchronization, but if objects are shared, i.e., across multiple command-queues, the application needs synchronization.

clCreateCommandQueue

注意：参数cl_command_queue_properties:

(1) cl_queue_out_of_order_exec_mode_enable:queue中的command顺序执行还是乱序执行，顺序执行在command queue中隐式加入同步命令

(2) cl_queue_profiling_enable: profiling of commands

clRetainCommandQueue: increments the command_queue reference count

clReleaseCommandQueue: decrements the command_queue reference count

clGetCommandQueueInfo: query info about a command_queue

clSetCommandQueueProperty: change command_queue properties，很明显在属性变化时有一个Flush的动作，expensive

这一节最后提到Device Lost的情况，操作系统会通知驱动，Spec说可以通过创建Context时注册的回调函数来记录。
