outputs type information for buffers

converts a value to an array

(str (type (to-array 10))) => “class [J”

returns and checks type information of inputs

coerces a scalar value to the kernel’s declared primitive unit.

Kernel scalars must be passed to clSetKernelArg with exactly the declared size — a Clojure long (8 bytes) for an :int parameter is rejected with CL_INVALID_KERNEL_ARGS by strict drivers (e.g. NVIDIA OpenCL 3.0 / CUDA 13).
