if I understand correctly, local_work_size tells how many GPU cores will process the global_work_size ? That means with local_work_size = 1 and global_work_size=10 I can create a kernell that would do: a=a+1 and not worry about it getting screwed?
No, local worksize is actually the size of workgroup. Workgroup is a bunch of workitems which share the same local buffers.
