Search for "Pointer Traversal" and you'll find:
...pointers must be converted to be relative to the buffer base pointer and only refer to data within the buffer itself (no pointers between OpenCL buffers are allowed) |
Sorry, I meant a pointer to the discussion why it is expected to be a problem here.
I can only think of it if you have a lot of different-sized data sets that you have to copy around continuously, but unless NVidia has significantly improved the memory fragmentation issue even there it might be better to allocate a single "max-sized" buffer and do your own memory management - which eliminates the issue even though in a really bad way.
