public abstract class Buffer
extends AbstractOpenCLObject

Wrapper for an OpenCL buffer object. A buffer object stores a one-dimensional collection of elements. Elements of a buffer object can be a scalar data type (such as an int, float), vector data type, or a user-defined structure.
Buffers are created by the Context.
All access methods (read/write/copy/map) are available in both sychronized/blocking versions and in async/non-blocking versions. The later ones always return an Event object and have the prefix -Async in their name.

Method Detail

register

public Buffer register()

Description copied from interface: OpenCLObject

Registers this object for automatic releasing on garbage collection. By default, OpenCLObjects are not registered in the OpenCLObjectManager, you have to release it manually by calling OpenCLObject.release(). Without registering or releasing, a memory leak might occur.
Returns this to allow calls like Buffer buffer = clContext.createBuffer(1024).register();.

Specified by:

register in interface OpenCLObject

Overrides:

register in class AbstractOpenCLObject

Returns:

this

getSize

public abstract long getSize()

Returns:

the size of the buffer in bytes.

acquireBufferForSharingAsync

public abstract Event acquireBufferForSharingAsync(CommandQueue queue)

Aquires this buffer object for using. Only call this method if this buffer represents a shared object from OpenGL, created with e.g. Context.bindVertexBuffer(com.jme3.scene.VertexBuffer, com.jme3.opencl.MemoryAccess). This method must be called before the buffer is used. After the work is done, the buffer must be released by calling releaseBufferForSharingAsync(com.jme3.opencl.CommandQueue) so that OpenGL can use the VertexBuffer again.

Parameters:

queue - the command queue

Returns:

the event object

acquireBufferForSharingNoEvent

public void acquireBufferForSharingNoEvent(CommandQueue queue)

Aquires this buffer object for using. Only call this method if this buffer represents a shared object from OpenGL, created with e.g. Context.bindVertexBuffer(com.jme3.scene.VertexBuffer, com.jme3.opencl.MemoryAccess). This method must be called before the buffer is used. After the work is done, the buffer must be released by calling releaseBufferForSharingAsync(com.jme3.opencl.CommandQueue) so that OpenGL can use the VertexBuffer again. The generated event object is directly released. This brings a performance improvement when the resource is e.g. directly used by a kernel afterwards on the same queue (this implicitly waits for this action). If you need the event, use acquireBufferForSharingAsync(com.jme3.opencl.CommandQueue) instead.

Parameters:

queue - the command queue

releaseBufferForSharingAsync

public abstract Event releaseBufferForSharingAsync(CommandQueue queue)

Releases a shared buffer object. Call this method after the buffer object was acquired by acquireBufferForSharingAsync(com.jme3.opencl.CommandQueue) to hand the control back to OpenGL.

Parameters:

queue - the command queue

Returns:

the event object

releaseBufferForSharingNoEvent

public void releaseBufferForSharingNoEvent(CommandQueue queue)

Releases a shared buffer object. Call this method after the buffer object was acquired by acquireBufferForSharingAsync(com.jme3.opencl.CommandQueue) to hand the control back to OpenGL. The generated event object is directly released, resulting in performance improvements.

Parameters:

queue - the command queue

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
