		13	=head2 OpenCL FROM 10000 FEET HEIGHT
		14
		15	Here is a high level overview of OpenCL:
		16
		17	First you need to find one or more OpenCL::Platforms (kind of like
		18	vendors) - usually there is only one.
		19
		20	Each platform gives you access to a number of OpenCL::Device objects, e.g.
		21	your graphics card.
		22
		23	From a platform and some device(s), you create an OpenCL::Context, which is
		24	a very central object in OpenCL: Once you have a context you can create
		25	most other objects:
		26
		27	OpenCL::Program objects, which store source code and, after building for a
		28	specific device ("compiling and linking"), also binary programs. For each
		29	kernel function in a program you can then create an OpenCL::Kernel object
		30	which represents basically a function call with argument values.
		31
		32	OpenCL::Memory objects of various flavours: OpenCL::Buffer objects (flat
		33	memory areas, think arrays or structs) and OpenCL::Image objects (think 2d
		34	or 3d array) for bulk data and input and output for kernels.
		35
		36	OpenCL::Sampler objects, which are kind of like texture filter modes in
		37	OpenGL.
		38
		39	OpenCL::Queue objects - command queues, which allow you to submit memory
		40	reads, writes and copies, as well as kernel calls to your devices. They
		41	also offer a variety of methods to synchronise request execution, for
		42	example with barriers or OpenCL::Event objects.
		43
		44	OpenCL::Event objects are used to signal when something is complete.

		74	=head1 BASIC WORKFLOW
		75
		76	To get something done, you basically have to do this once (refer to the
		77	examples below for actual code, this is just a high-level description):
		78
		79	Find some platform (e.g. the first one) and some device(s) (e.g. the first
		80	device of the platform), and create a context from those.
		81
		82	Create program objects from your OpenCL source code, then build (compile)
		83	the programs for each device you want to run them on.
		84
		85	Create kernel objects for all kernels you want to use (surprisingly, these
		86	are not device-specific).
		87
		88	Then, to execute stuff, you repeat these steps, possibly resuing or
		89	sharing some buffers:
		90
		91	Create some input and output buffers from your context. Set these as
		92	arguments to your kernel.
		93
		94	Enqueue buffer writes to initialise your input buffers (when not
		95	initialised at creation time).
		96
		97	Enqueue the kernel execution.
		98
		99	Enqueue buffer reads for your output buffer to read results.

		308
		309	=head2 BASIC CONVENTIONS
		310
		311	This is not a one-to-one C-style translation of OpenCL to Perl - instead
		312	I attempted to make the interface as type-safe as possible by introducing
		313	object syntax where it makes sense. There are a number of important
		314	differences between the OpenCL C API and this module:
		315
85	=over 4	316	=over 4
86		317
		318	=item * Object lifetime managament is automatic - there is no need
		319	to free objects explicitly (C<clReleaseXXX>), the release function
		320	is called automatically once all Perl references to it go away.
		321
		322	=item * OpenCL uses CamelCase for function names
		323	(e.g. C<clGetPlatformIDs>, C<clGetPlatformInfo>), while this module
		324	uses underscores as word separator and often leaves out prefixes
		325	(C<OpenCL::platforms>, C<< $platform->info >>).
		326
		327	=item * OpenCL often specifies fixed vector function arguments as short
		328	arrays (C<size_t origin[3]>), while this module explicitly expects the
		329	components as separate arguments (C<$orig_x, $orig_y, $orig_z>) in
		330	function calls.
		331
		332	=item * Structures are often specified by flattening out their components
		333	as with short vectors, and returned as arrayrefs.
		334
		335	=item * When enqueuing commands, the wait list is specified by adding
		336	extra arguments to the function - anywhere a C<$wait_events...> argument
		337	is documented this can be any number of event objects. As an extsnion
		338	implemented by this module, C<undef> values will be ignored in the event
		339	list.
		340
		341	=item * When enqueuing commands, if the enqueue method is called in void
		342	context, no event is created. In all other contexts an event is returned
		343	by the method.
		344
		345	=item * This module expects all functions to return C<CL_SUCCESS>. If any
		346	other status is returned the function will throw an exception, so you
		347	don't normally have to to any error checking.
		348
		349	=back
		350
		351	=head2 PERL AND OPENCL TYPES
		352
		353	This handy(?) table lists OpenCL types and their perl, PDL and pack/unpack
		354	format equivalents:
		355
		356	OpenCL perl PDL pack/unpack
		357	char IV - c
		358	uchar IV byte C
		359	short IV short s
		360	ushort IV ushort S
		361	int IV long? l
		362	uint IV - L
		363	long IV longlong q
		364	ulong IV - Q
		365	float NV float f
		366	half IV ushort S
		367	double NV double d
		368
		369	=head2 GLX SUPPORT
		370
		371	Due to the sad state that OpenGL support is in in Perl (mostly the OpenGL
		372	module, which has little to no documentation and has little to no support
		373	for glX), this module, as a special extension, treats context creation
		374	properties C<OpenCL::GLX_DISPLAY_KHR> and C<OpenCL::GL_CONTEXT_KHR>
		375	specially: If either or both of these are C<undef>, then the OpenCL
		376	module tries to dynamically resolve C<glXGetCurrentDisplay> and
		377	C<glXGetCurrentContext>, call these functions and use their return values
		378	instead.
		379
		380	For this to work, the OpenGL library must be loaded, a GLX context must
		381	have been created and be made current, and C<dlsym> must be available and
		382	capable of finding the function via C<RTLD_DEFAULT>.
		383
		384	=head2 EVENT SYSTEM
		385
		386	OpenCL can generate a number of (potentially) asynchronous events, for
		387	example, after compiling a program, to signal a context-related error or,
		388	perhaps most important, to signal completion of queued jobs (by setting
		389	callbacks on OpenCL::Event objects).
		390
		391	To facilitate this, this module maintains an event queue - each
		392	time an asynchronous event happens, it is queued, and perl will be
		393	interrupted. This is implemented via the L<Async::Interrupt> module. In
		394	addition, this module has L<AnyEvent> support, so it can seamlessly
		395	integrate itself into many event loops.
		396
		397	Since this module is a bit hard to understand, here are some case examples:
		398
		399	=head3 Don't use callbacks.
		400
		401	When your program never uses any callbacks, then there will never be any
		402	notifications you need to take care of, and therefore no need to worry
		403	about all this.
		404
		405	You can achieve a great deal by explicitly waiting for events, or using
		406	barriers and flush calls. In many programs, there is no need at all to
		407	tinker with asynchronous events.
		408
		409	=head3 Use AnyEvent
		410
		411	This module automatically registers a watcher that invokes all outstanding
		412	event callbacks when AnyEvent is initialised (and block asynchronous
		413	interruptions). Using this mode of operations is the safest and most
		414	recommended one.
		415
		416	To use this, simply use AnyEvent and this module normally, make sure you
		417	have an event loop running:
		418
		419	use Gtk2 -init;
		420	use AnyEvent;
		421
		422	# initialise AnyEvent, by creating a watcher, or:
		423	AnyEvent::detect;
		424
		425	my $e = $queue->marker;
		426	$e->cb (sub {
		427	warn "opencl is finished\n";
		428	})
		429
		430	main Gtk2;
		431
		432	Note that this module will not initialise AnyEvent for you. Before
		433	AnyEvent is initialised, the module will asynchronously interrupt perl
		434	instead. To avoid any surprises, it's best to explicitly initialise
		435	AnyEvent.
		436
		437	You can temporarily enable asynchronous interruptions (see next paragraph)
		438	by calling C<$OpenCL::INTERRUPT->unblock> and disable them again by
		439	calling C<$OpenCL::INTERRUPT->block>.
		440
		441	=head3 Let yourself be interrupted at any time
		442
		443	This mode is the default unless AnyEvent is loaded and initialised. In
		444	this mode, OpenCL asynchronously interrupts a running perl program. The
		445	emphasis is on both I<asynchronously> and I<running> here.
		446
		447	Asynchronously means that perl might execute your callbacks at any
		448	time. For example, in the following code (I<THAT YOU SHOULD NOT COPY>),
		449	the C<until> loop following the marker call will be interrupted by the
		450	callback:
		451
		452	my $e = $queue->marker;
		453	my $flag;
		454	$e->cb (sub { $flag = 1 });
		455	1 until $flag;
		456	# $flag is now 1
		457
		458	The reason why you shouldn't blindly copy the above code is that
		459	busy waiting is a really really bad thing, and really really bad for
		460	performance.
		461
		462	While at first this asynchronous business might look exciting, it can be
		463	really hard, because you need to be prepared for the callback code to be
		464	executed at any time, which limits the amount of things the callback code
		465	can do safely.
		466
		467	This can be mitigated somewhat by using C<<
		468	$OpenCL::INTERRUPT->scope_block >> (see the L<Async::Interrupt>
		469	documentation for details).
		470
		471	The other problem is that your program must be actively I<running> to be
		472	interrupted. When you calculate stuff, your program is running. When you
		473	hang in some C functions or other block execution (by calling C<sleep>,
		474	C<select>, running an event loop and so on), your program is waiting, not
		475	running.
		476
		477	One way around that would be to attach a read watcher to your event loop,
		478	listening for events on C<< $OpenCL::INTERRUPT->pipe_fileno >>, using a
		479	dummy callback (C<sub { }>) to temporarily execute some perl code.
		480
		481	That is then awfully close to using the built-in AnyEvent support above,
		482	though, so consider that one instead.
		483
		484	=head3 Be creative
		485
		486	OpenCL exports the L<Async::Interrupt> object it uses in the global
		487	variable C<$OpenCL::INTERRUPT>. You can configure it in any way you like.
		488
		489	So if you want to feel like a real pro, err, wait, if you feel no risk
		490	menas no fun, you can experiment by implementing your own mode of
		491	operations.

		1158	=head2 THE OpenCL::Queue CLASS
		1159
		1160	An OpenCL::Queue represents an execution queue for OpenCL. You execute
		1161	requests by calling their respective method and waiting for it to complete
		1162	in some way.
		1163
		1164	Most methods that enqueue some request return an event object that can
		1165	be used to wait for completion (optionally using a callback), unless
		1166	the method is called in void context, in which case no event object is
		1167	created.
		1168
		1169	They also allow you to specify any number of other event objects that this
		1170	request has to wait for before it starts executing, by simply passing the
		1171	event objects as extra parameters to the enqueue methods. To simplify
		1172	program design, this module ignores any C<undef> values in the list of
		1173	events. This makes it possible to code operations such as this, without
		1174	having to put a valid event object into C<$event> first:
		1175
		1176	$event = $queue->xxx (..., $event);
		1177
		1178	Queues execute in-order by default, without any parallelism, so in most
		1179	cases (i.e. you use only one queue) it's not necessary to wait for or
		1180	create event objects, althoguh an our of order queue is often a bit
		1181	faster.

		1771

		1774	an object of that type or C<undef>, local-memory arguments are set by
		1775	specifying the size, and sampler and event must be objects of that type.
		1776
		1777	Note that C<set_memory> works for all memory objects (all types of buffers
		1778	and images) - the main purpose of the more specific C<set_TYPE> functions
		1779	is type checking.
		1780
		1781	Setting an argument for a kernel does NOT keep a reference to the object -
		1782	for example, if you set an argument to some image object, free the image,
		1783	and call the kernel, you will run into undefined behaviour.
