Copy Buffer

This Copy Buffer example demonstrate how one buffer can be copied from another buffer.

KEY CONCEPTS: Copy Buffer

KEYWORDS: cl::CommandQueue, enqueueCopyBuffer, enqueueWriteBuffer, enqueueReadBuffer, enqueueMigrateMemObjects

This example illustrates the use of clEnqueueCopyBuffer API which is used to copy the contents of a buffer into another buffer in the global memory without copying the contents to host and back.

Contents of buffer_a are copied into buffer_b.

err = q.enqueueCopyBuffer(buffer_a, buffer_b, 0, 0, size_in_bytes);

Note: Only CDMA enabled platforms will copy the buffer directly using clEnqueueCopyBuffer API. Please check platform Info to make sure if platform is CDMA enabled or not.

EXCLUDED PLATFORMS

Platforms containing following strings in their names are not supported for this example :

xilinx_u200_xdma_201830
xilinx_u250_xdma_201830

DESIGN FILES

Application code is located in the src directory. Accelerator binary files will be compiled to the xclbin directory. The xclbin directory is required by the Makefile and its contents will be filled during compilation. A listing of all the files in this example is shown below

src/host.cpp
src/vector_addition.cpp

COMMAND LINE ARGUMENTS

Once the environment has been configured, the application can be executed by

./host <vector_addition XCLBIN>
