how to generate binaries using offline compiler?

how to generate binaries using offline compiler, so that the binary can later be loaded up and processed using "clCreateProgramWithBinary"?

I tried using ioc64 on some examples, but it doesn't seem that any binary file has been generated. For example:

--------------------------------------------

ioc64 -cmd="Build" -input=MedianFilter.cl

Output:

Using default instruction set architecture.
Intel OpenCL CPU device was found!
Device name: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3210M CPU @ 2.50GHz
Device version: OpenCL 1.2 (Build 42537)
Device vendor: Intel(R) Corporation
Device profile: FULL_PROFILE
Compilation started

Linking started

Kernel <MedianFilterBitonic> was successfully vectorized
Done.
Build succeeded!

--------------------------------------

And then what? Where's the binary?

In order to get the program intermediate binary file you should use the "-ir[=]" command switch. For example: ioc64 -cmd="Build" -input=MedianFilter.cl -ir=MedianFiler.ir For more information on how to use the Offline Compiler tool and its features, please refer to the product's user guide on: http://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/opencl/user-guide/index.htm Thanks, Uri
