file io operations from within emu kernel functions

[omac777]

I read about gpufs. It has a capability to access files from within gpu kernel functions. Are there any plans to provide file io apis from within emu's gpu kernel functions? i.e. open file, create file, write/read, close.

Thank you for listening.

GPUfs is implemented for CUDA. I could look into it but until OpenCL supports it, I probably won't either.

Also, there are many algorithms that can't even be implemented at the moment with Emu because of limited support for things like variables, if/else, for loops so I would rather we focus on that.
