Failure to Release cl_mem buffer?

My code is looping through a few different kernels (each is very similar, just compiled with a few different optimizations) and I am trying to avoid the overhead of copying live buffers back to the h...

Is there a particular reason you are releasing everything (kernel, program, queue, context) at every iteration, rather than just the buffers?

Would it be possible to have some kernels interspersed between your "real" kernels which re-initialized the data? In this way, you could reuse the same buffers but avoid having to copy them back and forth, and avoid having to allocate and destroy them at each iteration.
