Detailed Description

A Kernel encapsulates a particular implementation of a calculation that can be performed on the data in a Context.

Kernel objects are created by Platforms:

 Kernel kernel = platform.createKernel(kernelName);
 

The Kernel class itself does not specify any details of what calculation is to be performed or the API for calling it. Instead, subclasses of KernelImpl will define APIs which are appropriate to particular calculations. To execute a Kernel, you therefore request its implementation object and cast it to the correct type:

 dynamic_cast<AddStreamsImpl&>(kernel.getImpl()).execute(stream1, stream2);
