How do I use structural data in GPGPU OpenCL?

OpenCL programming can use a struct, just provide the same structure declaration in the kernel function kernel.

If you define a struct in the main function:

1 typedef struct studentnode{

2 int age;

3 float height;

4}student;

The main function defines the data and transmits it to the OpenCL kernel:

Student *stu_input= (student*) malloc (sizeof (Studentnode));

stu_input->age=25;

stu_input->height=1.8l;

Student *stu_output= (student*) malloc (sizeof (Studentnode));

Cl_mem InputBuffer = Clcreatebuffer (Context, cl_mem_read_only| Cl_mem_copy_host_ptr, sizeof (Studentnode), (void *) Stu_input, NULL);

Cl_mem OutputBuffer = Clcreatebuffer (context, cl_mem_write_only, sizeof (Studentnode), NULL, NULL);

Cl_kernel kernel = Clcreatekernel (program, "Structtest", NULL);

Status = Clsetkernelarg (kernel, 0, sizeof (CL_MEM), (void *) &inputbuffer);

Status = Clsetkernelarg (kernel, 1, sizeof (CL_MEM), (void *) &outputbuffer);

The following is a specific OpenCL kernel, which can be modified to the age and height of the student:

typedef struct studentnode{

int age;

float height;

}student;

int growup (__global student *stu_input, __global student)

{

stu_output->age=stu_input->age+1;

Stu_output->height=stu_input->height + 0.1;

return 0;

}

__kernel void Structtest (__global student *stu_input, __global student)

{

Growup (Stu_input,stu_output);

}

To perform the output:

　　Attention:

　　strings, such as Char string[32]= "Hello World", are not supported in OpenCL. OpenCL cannot determine how many valid characters are in a string, and the number of characters must be given.
