Hip: C++ Heterogeneous-Compute Interface for Portability


HIP: C++ Heterogeneous-Compute Interface for Portability - ROCm/hip

HIP is a C++ Runtime API and Kernel Language that allows developers to create portable applications for AMD and NVIDIA GPUs from single source code. HIP is not intended to be a drop-in replacement for CUDA, and developers should expect to do some manual coding and performance tuning work to complete the port. It also specifies additional defines and keywords for function types, address spaces, and optimization controls (See the HIP C++ Language Extensions for a full description).
