Data sharing among various kernels

Hello,

I have tried working with read and write channels to pass data from one kernel to other. I wanted to know, whether a global variable can be shared by various kernels to pass the data. I have written a small program below indicating channel transfer. But is possible to transfer using shared global variables?

# pragma OPENCL EXTENSION cl_intel_channels : enable

channel float data_ch __attribute__((depth(0)));

__kernel void Pipe_in(__global float *restrict x, __global float *restrict check) {

// Get index of the work item

uint count;

for (count = 0; count<10; count++){

write_channel_intel(data_ch, x[count]);

check[count] = x[count];

}

}

__kernel void Pipe_out(__global float *restrict y) {

// Get index of the work item

uint count;

for (count = 0; count<10; count++)

y[count] = read_channel_intel(data_ch);

}
