Kernel Configuration
kernel_param Class Template
kernel_param is a generic structure for configuring SYCL* kernels. Each kernel template is invoked with a kernel_param type or object. Typically, a kernel template supports multiple values for the configuration parameters. Optimal values may depend on the invoked kernel, the data size and type(s), as well as on the used device.
A synopsis of the kernel_param struct is provided below:
// defined in <oneapi/dpl/experimental/kernel_templates>
namespace oneapi::dpl::experimental::kt {
template <std::uint16_t DataPerWorkItem,
std::uint16_t WorkGroupSize,
typename KernelName = /*unspecified*/>
struct kernel_param;
}Static Member Constants
Name |
Value |
Description |
|---|---|---|
static constexpr std::uint16_t data_per_workitem |
DataPerWorkItem |
The number of iterations to be processed by a work-item. |
static constexpr std::uint16_t workgroup_size |
WorkGroupSize |
The number of work-items within a work-group. |
NOTE:
The data_per_workitem parameter has a special meaning in ESIMD-based kernel templates. Usually, each work-item processes data_per_workitem input elements sequentially. However, work-items in ESIMD-based kernel templates perform vectorization, so the sequential work is data_per_workitem / vector_length elements, where vector_length is an implementation-defined vectorization factor.

kernel_name |
KernelName |
An optional parameter that is used to set a kernel name.
NOTE:
The KernelName parameter might be required in case an implementation of SYCL is not fully compliant with the SYCL 2020 Specification and does not support optional kernel names.
If omitted, SYCL kernel name(s) will be automatically generated. If provided, it must be a unique C++ typename that satisfies the requirements for SYCL kernel names in the SYCL 2020 Specification.
NOTE:
The provided name can be augmented by oneDPL when used with a template that creates multiple SYCL kernels.
