10   * Container representing data stored in OpenCL device memory for GPU-accelerated evolutionary algorithm processing.
11   * 
12   * <p>CLData encapsulates the information needed to reference and manage data that has been allocated and stored on an
13   * OpenCL device (GPU). This includes the OpenCL memory object, the data type, and the number of elements, providing a
14   * type-safe way to work with GPU memory buffers in evolutionary algorithm fitness evaluation.
15   * 
16   * <p>Key characteristics:
17   * <ul>
18   * <li><strong>Memory reference</strong>: OpenCL memory object (cl_mem) pointing to device memory</li>
19   * <li><strong>Type information</strong>: OpenCL data type for proper kernel parameter binding</li>
20   * <li><strong>Size tracking</strong>: Number of elements for bounds checking and memory management</li>
21   * <li><strong>Resource management</strong>: Facilitates proper cleanup of OpenCL memory objects</li>
22   * </ul>
23   * 
24   * <p>Common usage patterns:
25   * 
26   * <pre>{@code
27   * // Create CLData for population chromosomes
28   * CLData populationData = CLData.of(chromosomeBuffer, CL.CL_FLOAT, populationSize * chromosomeLength);
29   * 
30   * // Create CLData for fitness results
31   * CLData fitnessData = CLData.of(fitnessBuffer, CL.CL_DOUBLE, populationSize);
32   * 
33   * // Create CLData for algorithm parameters
34   * CLData parameterData = CLData.of(paramBuffer, CL.CL_INT, parameterCount);
35   * 
36   * // Use in kernel execution
37   * clSetKernelArg(kernel, 0, Sizeof.cl_mem, Pointer.to(populationData.clMem()));
38   * clSetKernelArg(kernel, 1, Sizeof.cl_mem, Pointer.to(fitnessData.clMem()));
39   * }</pre>
40   * 
41   * <p>Memory lifecycle management:
42   * <ol>
43   * <li><strong>Allocation</strong>: Memory is allocated using clCreateBuffer or similar OpenCL functions</li>
44   * <li><strong>Wrapping</strong>: CLData object is created to wrap the allocated memory</li>
45   * <li><strong>Usage</strong>: Memory is used in kernel execution through CLData references</li>
46   * <li><strong>Cleanup</strong>: Memory is released using clReleaseMemObject when no longer needed</li>
47   * </ol>
48   * 
49   * <p>Data type mapping:
50   * <ul>
51   * <li><strong>CL_FLOAT</strong>: Single-precision floating-point data</li>
52   * <li><strong>CL_DOUBLE</strong>: Double-precision floating-point data</li>
53   * <li><strong>CL_INT</strong>: 32-bit integer data</li>
54   * <li><strong>CL_CHAR</strong>: 8-bit character data</li>
55   * </ul>
56   * 
57   * <p>Error handling considerations:
58   * <ul>
59   * <li><strong>Memory validation</strong>: Ensures cl_mem objects are valid before use</li>
60   * <li><strong>Type safety</strong>: Validates OpenCL data types are positive</li>
61   * <li><strong>Size validation</strong>: Ensures element counts are positive</li>
62   * <li><strong>Resource tracking</strong>: Facilitates proper memory cleanup</li>
63   * </ul>
