Every time I see this stuff, I get confused by the term 'write-only'. Reading through the code, I remind myself that what you're actually promising is that any CPU accesses to the object will not overlap any potential writes by the GPU. The CPU could be reading or writing, it really doesn't matter. Really what you want is a kernel call that does everything except block on the GPU, right? -- keith.pack...@intel.com
