= The OpenCL Platform Layer
This section describes the OpenCL platform layer which implements
platform-specific features that allow applications to query OpenCL devices,
device configuration information, and to create OpenCL contexts using one or
more devices.
== Querying Platform Info
[open,refpage='clGetPlatformIDs',desc='Query list of available platforms',type='protos']
--
The list of platforms available can be obtained with the function:
include::{generated}/api/protos/clGetPlatformIDs.txt[]
include::{generated}/api/version-notes/clGetPlatformIDs.asciidoc[]
* _num_entries_ is the number of {cl_platform_id_TYPE} entries that can be added to
_platforms_.
If _platforms_ is not `NULL`, the _num_entries_ must be greater than zero.
* _platforms_ returns a list of OpenCL platforms found.
The {cl_platform_id_TYPE} values returned in _platforms_ can be used to identify a
specific OpenCL platform.
If _platforms_ is `NULL`, this argument is ignored.
The number of OpenCL platforms returned is the minimum of the value
specified by _num_entries_ or the number of OpenCL platforms available.
* _num_platforms_ returns the number of OpenCL platforms available.
If _num_platforms_ is `NULL`, this argument is ignored.
// refError
{clGetPlatformIDs} returns {CL_SUCCESS} if the function is executed
successfully.
Otherwise, it returns one of the following errors:
* {CL_INVALID_VALUE} if _num_entries_ is equal to zero and _platforms_ is
not `NULL` or if both _num_platforms_ and _platforms_ are `NULL`.
* {CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY} if there is a failure to allocate resources
required by the OpenCL implementation on the host.

information being queried.
It can be one of the following values as specified in the
<<platform-queries-table, Platform Queries>> table.
* _param_value_ is a pointer to memory location where appropriate values for a
given _param_name_, as specified in the <<platform-queries-table, Platform
Queries>> table, will be returned.

|====
The device type is purely informational and has no semantic meaning.
Some devices may be more than one type.
For example, a {CL_DEVICE_TYPE_CPU} device may also be a
{CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU} device, or a {CL_DEVICE_TYPE_ACCELERATOR} device
may also be some other, more descriptive device type.
{CL_DEVICE_TYPE_CUSTOM} devices must not be combined with any other
device types.
One device in the platform should be a {CL_DEVICE_TYPE_DEFAULT} device.
The default device should also be a more specific device type, such
as {CL_DEVICE_TYPE_CPU} or {CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU}.
// refError
{clGetDeviceIDs} returns {CL_SUCCESS} if the function is executed
successfully.
Otherwise, it returns one of the following errors:

Each partition name is immediately followed by the corresponding desired
value.
The list is terminated with 0.
The list of supported partitioning schemes is described in the
<<subdevice-partition-table, Subdevice Partition>> table.
Only one of the listed partitioning schemes can be specified in
_properties_.
* _num_devices_ is the size of memory pointed to by _out_devices_ specified as
the number of {cl_device_id_TYPE} entries.
* _out_devices_ is the buffer where the OpenCL sub-devices will be returned.
If _out_devices_ is `NULL`, this argument is ignored.
If _out_devices_ is not `NULL`, _num_devices_ must be greater than or equal
to the number of sub-devices that _device_ may be partitioned into according
to the partitioning scheme specified in _properties_.
* _num_devices_ret_ returns the number of sub-devices that _device_ may be

{clCreateSubDevices} creates an array of sub-devices that each reference a
non-intersecting set of compute units within _in_device_, according to the
partition scheme given by _properties_.
The output sub-devices may be used in every way that the root (or parent)
device can be used, including creating contexts, building programs, further
calls to {clCreateSubDevices} and creating command-queues.
When a command-queue is created against a sub-device, the commands enqueued
on the queue are executed only on the sub-device.

A few examples that describe how to specify partition properties in
_properties_ argument to {clCreateSubDevices} are given below:
To partition a device containing 16 compute units into two sub-devices, each
containing 8 compute units, pass the following in _properties_:
[source,c]
----
{ CL_DEVICE_PARTITION_EQUALLY, 8,
0 } // 0 terminates the property list
----
To partition a device with four compute units into two sub-devices with one
sub-device containing 3 compute units and the other sub-device 1 compute
unit, pass the following in properties argument:
[source,c]
----
{ CL_DEVICE_PARTITION_BY_COUNTS,
3, 1, CL_DEVICE_PARTITION_BY_COUNTS_LIST_END,
0 } // 0 terminates the property list
----
To split a device along the outermost cache line (if any), pass the
following in properties argument:

To retain a device, call the function:
include::{generated}/api/protos/clRetainDevice.txt[]
include::{generated}/api/version-notes/clRetainDevice.asciidoc[]
* _device_ is the OpenCL device to retain.
{clRetainDevice} increments the _device_ reference count if _device_ is a
valid sub-device created by a call to {clCreateSubDevices}.
If _device_ is a root level device i.e. a {cl_device_id_TYPE} returned by
{clGetDeviceIDs}, the _device_ reference count remains unchanged.
// refError
{clRetainDevice} returns {CL_SUCCESS} if the function is executed successfully
or the device is a root-level device.
Otherwise, it returns one of the following errors:
* {CL_INVALID_DEVICE} if _device_ is not a valid device.
* {CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES} if there is a failure to allocate resources required
by the OpenCL implementation on the device.
* {CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY} if there is a failure to allocate resources
required by the OpenCL implementation on the host.
--
[open,refpage='clReleaseDevice',desc='Release an OpenCL device',type='protos',xrefs='clRetainDevice']
--
To release a device, call the function:
include::{generated}/api/protos/clReleaseDevice.txt[]
include::{generated}/api/version-notes/clReleaseDevice.asciidoc[]
* _device_ is the OpenCL device to retain.
{clReleaseDevice} decrements the _device_ reference count if device is a
valid sub-device created by a call to {clCreateSubDevices}.
If _device_ is a root level device i.e. a {cl_device_id_TYPE} returned by
{clGetDeviceIDs}, the _device_ reference count remains unchanged.
// refError
{clReleaseDevice} returns {CL_SUCCESS} if the function is executed
successfully.
Otherwise, it returns one of the following errors:
* {CL_INVALID_DEVICE} if _device_ is not a valid device.
* {CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES} if there is a failure to allocate resources required
by the OpenCL implementation on the device.
* {CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY} if there is a failure to allocate resources
required by the OpenCL implementation on the host.
After the _device_ reference count becomes zero and all the objects attached
to _device_ (such as command-queues) are released, the _device_ object is
deleted.
Using this function to release a reference that was not obtained by creating
the object or by calling {clRetainDevice} causes undefined behavior.

== Contexts
[open,refpage='clCreateContext',desc='Create an OpenCL context',type='protos']
--
To create an OpenCL context, call the function:
include::{generated}/api/protos/clCreateContext.txt[]
include::{generated}/api/version-notes/clCreateContext.asciidoc[]
* _properties_ specifies a list of context property names and their
corresponding values.
Each property name is immediately followed by the corresponding desired
value.
The list is terminated with 0.
The list of supported properties is described in the
<<context-properties-table, Context Properties>> table.
_properties_ can be `NULL` in which case the platform that is selected is
implementation-defined.
* _num_devices_ is the number of devices specified in the _devices_ argument.
* _devices_ is a pointer to a list of unique devices returned by
{clGetDeviceIDs} or sub-devices created by {clCreateSubDevices} for a
platform. footnote:[{fn-duplicate-devices}]
* _pfn_notify_ is a callback function that can be registered by the
application.
This callback function will be used by the OpenCL implementation to report
information on errors during context creation as well as errors that occur
at runtime in this context.
This callback function may be called asynchronously by the OpenCL
implementation.
It is the applications responsibility to ensure that the callback function
is thread-safe.
If _pfn_notify_ is `NULL`, no callback function is registered.
* _user_data_ will be passed as the _user_data_ argument when _pfn_notify_ is
called.
_user_data_ can be `NULL`.
* _errcode_ret_ will return an appropriate error code.
If _errcode_ret_ is `NULL`, no error code is returned.
The parameters to the callback function _pfn_notify_ are:
* _errinfo_ is a pointer to an error string.
* _private_info_ and _cb_ represent a pointer to binary data that is
returned by the OpenCL implementation that can be used to log additional
information helpful in debugging the error.
* _user_data_ is a pointer to user supplied data.
Contexts are used by the OpenCL runtime for managing objects such as
command-queues, memory, program and kernel objects and for executing kernels
on one or more devices specified in the context.

====
It is possible that a device(s) becomes unavailable after a context and
command-queues that use this device(s) have been created and commands have
been queued to command-queues.
In this case the behavior of OpenCL API calls that use this context (and
command-queues) are considered to be implementation-defined.
The user callback function, if specified, when the context is created can be
used to record appropriate information in the _errinfo_, _private_info_
arguments passed to the callback function when the device becomes
unavailable.

type footnote:[{fn-create-context-all-or-subset}], call the function:
include::{generated}/api/protos/clCreateContextFromType.txt[]
include::{generated}/api/version-notes/clCreateContextFromType.asciidoc[]
* _properties_ specifies a list of context property names and their
corresponding values.
Each property name is immediately followed by the corresponding desired
value.
The list of supported properties is described in the
<<context-properties-table, Context Properties>> table.
_properties_ can also be `NULL` in which case the platform that is selected
is implementation-defined.
* _device_type_ is a bit-field that identifies the type of device and is
described in the <<device-types-table, Device Types>> table.
* _pfn_notify_ and _user_data_ are described in {clCreateContext}.
* _errcode_ret_ will return an appropriate error code.
If _errcode_ret_ is `NULL`, no error code is returned.
Only devices that are returned by {clGetDeviceIDs} for _device_type_ are
used to create the context.
The context does not reference any sub-devices that may have been created
from these devices.
// refError
{clCreateContextFromType} returns a valid non-zero context and _errcode_ret_
is set to {CL_SUCCESS} if the context is created successfully.
Otherwise, it returns a `NULL` value with the following error values
returned in _errcode_ret_:
* {CL_INVALID_PLATFORM} if _properties_ is `NULL` and no platform could be
selected or if platform value specified in _properties_ is not a valid
platform.
* {CL_INVALID_PROPERTY} if context property name in _properties_ is not a
supported property name, if the value specified for a supported property
name is not valid, or if the same property name is specified more than
once.
This error code is <<unified-spec, missing before>> version 1.1.
* {CL_INVALID_VALUE} if _pfn_notify_ is `NULL` but _user_data_ is not
`NULL`.
* {CL_INVALID_DEVICE_TYPE} if _device_type_ is not a valid value.
* {CL_DEVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE} if no devices that match _device_type_ and
property values specified in _properties_ are currently available.
* {CL_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND} if no devices that match _device_type_ and property
values specified in _properties_ were found.
* {CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES} if there is a failure to allocate resources required
by the OpenCL implementation on the device.
* {CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY} if there is a failure to allocate resources
required by the OpenCL implementation on the host.

[open,refpage='clRetainContext',desc='Retain an OpenCL context',type='protos',xrefs='clCreateContext clReleaseContext']
--
To retain a context, call the function:
include::{generated}/api/protos/clRetainContext.txt[]
include::{generated}/api/version-notes/clRetainContext.asciidoc[]
* _context_ specifies the OpenCL context to retain.
{clRetainContext} increments the _context_ reference count.
{clCreateContext} and {clCreateContextFromType} perform an implicit retain.
This is very helpful for 3^rd^ party libraries, which typically get a
context passed to them by the application.
However, it is possible that the application may delete the context without
informing the library.
Allowing functions to attach to (i.e. retain) and release a context solves
the problem of a context being used by a library no longer being valid.
// refError
{clRetainContext} returns {CL_SUCCESS} if the function is executed
successfully.
Otherwise, it returns one of the following errors:
* {CL_INVALID_CONTEXT} if _context_ is not a valid OpenCL context.
* {CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES} if there is a failure to allocate resources required
by the OpenCL implementation on the device.
* {CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY} if there is a failure to allocate resources
required by the OpenCL implementation on the host.

[open,refpage='clReleaseContext',desc='Release an OpenCL context',type='protos',xrefs='clCreateContext clRetainContext']
--
To release a context, call the function:
include::{generated}/api/protos/clReleaseContext.txt[]
include::{generated}/api/version-notes/clReleaseContext.asciidoc[]
* _context_ specifies the OpenCL context to release.
{clReleaseContext} decrements the _context_ reference count.
After the reference count becomes zero and all the objects attached to
_context_ (such as memory objects, command-queues) are released, the
_context_ is deleted.
Using this function to release a reference that was not obtained by creating
the object or by calling {clRetainContext} causes undefined behavior.
// refError
{clReleaseContext} returns {CL_SUCCESS} if the function is executed
successfully.
Otherwise, it returns one of the following errors:
* {CL_INVALID_CONTEXT} if _context_ is not a valid OpenCL context.
* {CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES} if there is a failure to allocate resources required
by the OpenCL implementation on the device.
* {CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY} if there is a failure to allocate resources
required by the OpenCL implementation on the host.

[open,refpage='clGetContextInfo',desc='Query information about an OpenCL context',type='protos']
--
To query information about a context, call the function:
include::{generated}/api/protos/clGetContextInfo.txt[]
include::{generated}/api/version-notes/clGetContextInfo.asciidoc[]
* _context_ specifies the OpenCL context being queried.
* _param_name_ is an enumeration constant that specifies the information to
query.
* _param_value_ is a pointer to memory where the appropriate result being
queried is returned.
If _param_value_ is `NULL`, it is ignored.
* _param_value_size_ specifies the size in bytes of memory pointed to by
_param_value_.
This size must be greater than or equal to the size of return type as
described in the <<context-info-table, Context Attributes>> table.
* _param_value_size_ret_ returns the actual size in bytes of data being
queried by _param_name_.
If _param_value_size_ret_ is `NULL`, it is ignored.
The list of supported _param_name_ values and the information returned in
_param_value_ by {clGetContextInfo} is described in the
<<context-info-table, Context Attributes>> table.

the implementation must return the values specified in the
properties argument in the same order and without including
additional properties.
If the _properties_ argument specified in {clCreateContext} or
{clCreateContextFromType} used to create _context_ was `NULL`, the
implementation must return _param_value_size_ret_ equal to 0,
indicating that there are no properties to be returned.

[open,refpage='clSetContextDestructorCallback',desc='Registers a destructor callback function with a context.',type='protos']
--
To register a callback function with a context that is called when
the context is destroyed, call the function
include::{generated}/api/protos/clSetContextDestructorCallback.txt[]
include::{generated}/api/version-notes/clSetContextDestructorCallback.asciidoc[]
* _context_ specifies the OpenCL context to register the callback to.
* _pfn_notify_ is the callback function to register.
This callback function may be called asynchronously by the OpenCL
implementation.
It is the application's responsibility to ensure that the callback function
is thread-safe.
The parameters to this callback function are:
** _context_ is the OpenCL context being deleted.
When the callback function is called by the implementation, this context
is no longer valid.
_context_ is only provided for reference purposes.
** _user_data_ is a pointer to user-supplied data.
* _user_data_ will be passed as the _user_data_ argument when _pfn_notify_ is
called.
_user_data_ can be `NULL`.
Each call to {clSetContextDestructorCallback} registers the specified
callback function on a destructor callback stack associated with _context_.
The registered callback functions are called in the reverse order in
which they were registered.
If a context callback function was specified when _context_ was created,
it will not be called after any context destructor callback is called.
Therefore, the context destructor callback provides a mechanism for an
application to safely re-use or free any _user_data_ specified for the
context callback function when _context_ was created.
// refError
{clSetContextDestructorCallback} returns {CL_SUCCESS} if the function is
executed successfully.
Otherwise, it returns one of the following errors:
* {CL_INVALID_CONTEXT} if _context_ is not a valid context.
* {CL_INVALID_VALUE} if _pfn_notify_ is `NULL`.
* {CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES} if there is a failure to allocate resources required
by the OpenCL implementation on the device.
* {CL_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY} if there is a failure to allocate resources
required by the OpenCL implementation on the host.
