Fast Global buffers in on-chip MSMC memory

A TI extension for allocating buffers out of MSMC memory has been added. Other than the location on the DSP where the buffer will reside, this MSMC defined buffer will act as a standard global buffer in all other ways. Example:

Buffer bufMsmc(context, CL_MEM_READ_ONLY|CL_MEM_USE_MSMC_TI, size);
Buffer bufDdr (context, CL_MEM_READ_ONLY, size); }

The matmpy example illustrates the use of MSMC buffers. The platforms example will query the DSP device and report the amount of MSMC memory available for OpenCL use.

Note

MSMC stands for Multicore Shared Memory Controller. It contains on-chip memory shared across all ARM and DSP cores on the 66AK2x. CL_MEM_USE_MSMC_TI is available only on 66AK2x.
