          The work-group size to be used for <varname>kernel</varname> can also
          be specified in the program source using the <code><citerefentry
          href="attribute"><refentrytitle>__attribute__</refentrytitle></citerefentry>
          ((reqd_work_group_size(X, Y, Z)))</code> qualifier. In this case the size
          of work group specified by <varname>local_work_size</varname> must match the
          value specified by the <code>reqd_work_group_size</code> <citerefentry

          These work-group instances are executed in parallel across multiple compute units or
          concurrently on the same compute unit.

        <para>
          Each work-item is uniquely identified by a global identifier. The global ID,
          which can be read inside the kernel, is computed using the value given by
          <varname>global_work_size</varname> and <varname>global_work_offset</varname>.
          In addition, a work-item is also identified within a work-group by a unique local ID.
          The local ID, which can also be read by the kernel, is computed using the value given
          by <varname>local_work_size</varname>. The starting local ID is always (0, 0, ... 0).
