I have a question about loading kernels from binaries.
I see that the "opencl_build_from_binary" function is responsible for this,
and it is called from "opencl_build_kernel_save". I'm not sure I understand
this part:
//Select the kernel to run.
if (!stat(path_expand(bin_name), &bin_stat) && (source_stat.st_mtime <
bin_stat.st_mtime)) {
read_kernel_source(bin_name);
opencl_build_from_binary(sequential_id);
}
Is this only used for saving binaries and not loading them?
I tried to run a format so that the binary is generated and then remove the
kernel source and it failed.
This behavior should be changed in order to load modified binaries with
custom gcnasm code, right?
Regards,
Daniel
