To ensure bit exactness when reading output buffers using
clEnqueueReadBuffer
, it's crucial to initialize all output buffers to zero. This ensures they start with a predictable state, preventing potential undefined behavior. The reason for this initialization is that in all tests, the size of the buffers exceeds the number of work items in the kernel. Without initialization, the last portion of the output buffer might contain unpredictable data ("junk").
