AMD Hip SDK: Making CUDA Applications Run Across Consumer, Pro GPUs and APUs

    HIP is an API equivalent to CUDA. The kernel code is identical. The host code is the same API with a change from the CUDA to HIP namespace. This seems to be an extremely minimal form of 'porting'.

      Right. I can't speak to its correctness/completeness as I've only done a quick installation and smoke test of the ROCm/HIP/MIOpen stack, but there's even a tool that automates the translation [1].

      Exactly. I heard recently the Lumi supercomputer team converted loads of scientific code from CUDA to Hip to run on MI250, and apparently it was pretty seamless, so a strong sign this approach works

      Fantastic, now I look like a fool :D But on the bright side your comment made me quite deeply interested in this.
