Parallel execution of concurrent kernel compilation calls?

[lmeyerov]

Before we go down a rabbit hole, are buildProgram and createKernel parallelized, where for the same context, we can run several kernel compilations concurrently and see benefits from parallel execution under-the-hood? We've been working on cutting down our load times, and while we achieved much via preloading our kernels, we still have a few load-time kernels where compilation introduces a noticeable bottleneck.

If cl compilation is believed to work but not well-tested, happy to contribute to the test suite.

Frankly, I have never tested that and that would depend not on nodejs or node-opencl but on the native compiler. According to spec these methods are not thread safe but if your kernels are independent, it may work (?)

Good to hear -- may be a bit before our next push here, but I'll report back when we do
