scow_Steel_Thread

scow_Steel_Thread

The basic structure in SCOW. It represents Platform, Device, Context & 4 command queues together:

• Host to Device queue
• Device to Host queue
• Device to Device queue
• Queue for OpenCL kernel execution

scow_Steel_Thread is created with Make_Steel_Thread() function around selected OpenCL Device:
scow_Steel_Thread *thread = Make_Steel_Thread(Pick_Device_By_Type(CL_DEVICE_TYPE_GPU));

As all SCOW structures, it must be deleted through Delete() function :
thread->Destroy(thread);

You can flush command queues for data transmission by calling Wait_For_Data() functioin:
thread->Wait_For_Data();

Similarly, command queue for kernel execution can be flushed by calling Wait_For_Commands() function:
thread->Wait_For_Commands();

All functions of scow_Steel_Thread return value of type ret_code, which has CL_SUCCESS value in case of success, or error code otherwise.
