<!-- ================================ NOTES  -->

    <refsect1 id="notes"><title>Notes</title>
        <para>
            This section describes a mechanism for assigning which device an OpenCL memory object
            resides. A user may wish to have more explicit control over the location of their memory objects
            on creation. This could be used to:

            <itemizedlist mark="disc">
                <listitem>Ensure that an object is allocated on a specific device prior to usage.</listitem>
                <listitem>Preemptively migrate an object from one device to another.</listitem>
            </itemizedlist>
        </para>

        <para>
          Typically, memory objects are implicitly migrated to a device
          for which enqueued commands, using the memory object, are targeted.
          <function>clEnqueueMigrateMemObjects</function> allows this migration to be explicitly
          performed ahead of the dependent commands. This allows a user to preemptively change
          the association of a memory object, through regular command queue scheduling, in
          order to prepare for another upcoming command. This also permits an application to
          overlap the placement of memory objects with other unrelated operations before
          these memory objects are needed potentially hiding transfer latencies. Once
          the event, returned from <function>clEnqueueMigrateMemObjects</function>,
          has been marked <constant>CL_COMPLETE</constant> the memory objects specified

          <function>clEnqueueMigrateMemObjects</function> can also be used to direct the initial

          The user is responsible for managing the event dependencies, associated with this

          result in undefined results.
