Intel: I am using the Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™, is there any documentation explaining the difference between num_compute_units and num_simd_work_items?

OpenCL

Category: OpenCL™
Tools: Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™
Device: Arria® 10


See the description of Kernel Vectorization and Multiple Compute Units in the Intel FPGA SDK for OpenCL Pro Edition Best Practices Guide.

The Compute Unit Replication versus Kernel SIMD Vectorization article also mentions the difference between num_compute_units and num_simd_work_items.
