EXPLICITMEMORYFENCEFUNCTIONS(3clc)

✨ NAME ✨

ok so this is the OpenCL Manual page for Explicit_Memory_Fence_Functions 💖 — and the whole vibe here is "tap an item in the table below for deets about that function." Except we're not doing tables, bestie, so here's the exact same lineup as a lil list 🫶

• mem_fence(3clc) — Orders loads and stores of a work-item executing a kernel
• read_mem_fence(3clc) — Read memory barrier that orders only loads
• write_mem_fence(3clc) — Write memory barrier that orders only stores

Like… three lil bouncers for your memory ops 💅 pick your fighter.
