OpenCL 3.0.19 Released With SPIR-V Queries & Android Hardware Buffer Extensions
The Khronos Group today published the OpenCL 3.0.19 documentation as the latest specification for the OpenCL 3.0 compute API.
The cl_khr_external_memory_android_hardware_buffer extension extends the OpenCL external memory (cl_khr_external_memory) support to enable applications to create an OpenCL image or buffer object out of an Android AHardwareBuffer. This improvement for OpenCL use on Android was worked on by Qualcom, Arm, Google, and Imagination. That experimental extension originating back in 2021 allows importing and exporting a Direct3D 12 fence as an external semaphore using the cl_khr_external_semaphore APIs.
