HIP is AMD's open-source re-implementation of CUDA libraries.
- viewtransform 3y agoHIP is AMD's contribution to the open source community to overcome Nvidia's CUDA software moat You write in HIP C++ language and run them on either NVIDIA or AMD platforms. This way you get cross-platform code and are not stuck with Nvidia. Use HIPify tool to automatically convert existing sources from CUDA to HIP. It's been around for many years - but the fact that so many people still don't know about it - speaks for the sad state of AMD communication. https://docs.amd.com/bundle/HIP-Programming-Guide-v5.3/page/Introduction_to_HIP_Programming_Guide.html https://docs.amd.com/bundle/HIP-Programming-Guide-v5.3/page/...
- my123 3y agoHIP is a pathetic CUDA API clone. Gratuitous renames don't do it any good and are more representative of NIH rather than anything else (sadly). They should have shipped a proper header set instead of hipify.
