Honored ContributorAutorum kernels do not have an interface to host or external memory and you cannot access external memory directly from an autorun kernel, even if you pass the pointer through channels.

Autorun kernels should be accompanied by another non-autorun kernel that reads data from external memory and streams it to the autorun kernel via a channel.
