In this case, your approach is superior because you don't have to search the list (or about the same if the list has only one entry :)) b) clCreateKernelsInProgram() is called. The compiler then needs to find the names of all kernel functions. Given that this call can happen after linking against the built-in function library, the module can contain tens to hundreds different functions, of which only a handful will be kernel functions. In this case, our ap...
