5.5.5. Enabling OpenCL Pipes for Kernels

To implement pipes, modify your OpenCL™ kernels to include pipes-specific API calls.

Pipes declarations are unique within a given OpenCL kernel program. Also, pipe instances are unique for every OpenCL kernel program-device pair. If the runtime loads a single OpenCL kernel program onto multiple devices, each device will have a single copy of each pipe. However, these pipe copies are independent and do not share data across the devices.
