Newbie question: Async kernels Whether kernel executions are serialzed

[TL1]

According to the Programming Guide,

A call to a [font=“Courier”]global[/font] function is asynchronous, meaning it returns before the device has completed its execution.

But my question is slightly different: Are calls to [font=“Courier”]global[/font] functions serialized, such that one is guaranteed to complete before the next begins?

For example in the following code:

MyKernelFirst<<< ... >>>(myData);

MyKernelSecond<<< ... >>>(myData);

Is the execution of [font=“Courier”]MyKernelFirst[/font] guaranteed to complete before the execution of [font=“Courier”]MyKernelSecond[/font] begins?

If not, how can I enforce this condition?

Many thanks.
