OpenCL C code using printfΒΆ
A printf capability has been added for kernels running on the DSP. OpenCL C kernels or standard C code called from an OpenCL C kernel can call printf. The string resulting from the printf will be transmitted to the host ARM and displayed using a printf on the ARM side. This feature can be used to assist in debug of your OpenCL kernels. Note that there is a performance penalty in using printf from the DSPs, so it is not a feature that should be used when evaluating DSP performance. This feature is not the OpenCL 1.2 printf, which contains additional formatting codes for printing vector types.
