Could anyone who's used HIP comment on how it compares to programming in raw CUDA?
I considered using it for a project recently, but ultimately decided against it because I didn't need to be able to run on AMD systems.
- waynecochran 9y agoWait ... if you write your program in HIP you get both CUDA and OpenCL (which includes AMD) for free right?
- dragandj 9y agoThere is no OpenCL in the story there. AMD created HIP as a direct copy of CUDA. It then gets compiled to work on AMD hardware, or can be translated to CUDA. AMD also supports OpenCL (which I prefer to both CUDA and HIP), but it's not connected to HIP.
- TomV1971 9y agoLast time I checked, HIP didn’t support reading from textures. That’s something that’s not only useful for pure graphics. So it is (or was?) not a straight substitute for CUDA.
