vstoren(3clc)


NAME

   vstoren - Write sizeof bytes (gentypen) to memory.

   void vstoren(gentypen data, size_t offset, __global gentype *p);

   void vstoren(gentypen data, size_t offset, __local gentype *p);

   void vstoren(gentypen data, size_t offset, __private gentype *p);

DESCRIPTION

   Write sizeof(gentypen) bytes given by data to address (p + (offset *
   n)). The address computed as (p + (offset * n)) must be 8-bit aligned
   if gentype is char or uchar; 16-bit aligned if gentype is short,
   ushort, or half; 32-bit aligned if gentype is int, uint, or float;
   64-bit aligned if gentype is long or ulong.

NOTES

   Vector Data Load and Store Functions allow you to read and write vector
   types from a pointer to memory.

   The generic type gentype is used to indicate the built-in data types
   char, uchar, short, ushort, int, uint, long, ulong, float, or double.

   The generic type name gentypen represents n-element vectors of gentype
   elements. The suffix n is also used in the function names (i.e.
   vloadn, vstoren, etc.), where n = 2, 3, 4, 8, or 16.

   The results of vector data load and store functions are undefined if
   the address being read from or written to is not correctly aligned. The
   pointer argument p can be a pointer to global(3clc), local(3clc), or
   private(3clc) memory for store functions. The pointer argument p can be
   a pointer to __global, __local, constant(3clc) or __private memory for
   load functions.

   When extended by the cl_khr_fp16(3clc) extension, the generic type
   gentypen is extended to include half, half2, half3, half4, half8, and
   half16.

   vstore3, and vstore_half3 write x, y, z components from a 3-component
   vector to address (p + (offset * 3)).

Opportunity


Personal Opportunity - Free software gives you access to billions of dollars of software at no cost. Use this software for your business, personal use or to develop a profitable skill. Access to source code provides access to a level of capabilities/information that companies protect though copyrights. Open source is a core component of the Internet and it is available to you. Leverage the billions of dollars in resources and capabilities to build a career, establish a business or change the world. The potential is endless for those who understand the opportunity.

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.



Free Software


Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.



Free Books


The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.



Education


Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
