Wait ... 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.
