search for: workdim

...user program can invoke a kernel as an NDRange, i.e. with an implied loop around it to iterate over an index space of 1 to 3 dimensions. (This is the "big idea" of OpenCL). (The index values are available in the function body from intrinsic functions get_work_dim() and get_global_id(uint workdim).) But that implied loop is only applied when directly called from the user program. When a kernel is called from another kernel, it behaves as a regular function call and just adopts the caller's index point. The spec does not specify whether or how that implied loop is represented in the IR...
