Exercise 10: Managing Dependencies


In this exercise you will learn how to create a data dependency data flow graph in both the buffer/accessor and USM models.


1.) Define a data flow graph with the buffer/accessor model

Using everything you have learned in previous exercises create an application using the buffer/accessor model which has four kernel functions. These kernel functions can do any computation you like, but they should follow the following dependencies.

      (kernel A)
     /          \
(kernel B)  (kernel C)
     \          /
      (kernel D)

The important thing here is that kernels B and C must depend on kernel A, kernel D must depend on kernels B and C and kernels B and C can be executed in any order and even concurrently if the device permits. Note that in the buffer/accessor these dependencies are created implicitly using the creation of accessors.

Feel free to use any method of synchronization and copy back you like, but remember to handle errors.

2.) Define a data flow graph with the USM model

Now do the same again but using the USM model. Note that in the USM model dependencies are defined explicitly by chaining commands via events.

Again feel free to use any method of synchronization and copy back you like, but remember to handle errors.
