Heterogeneous-computing Interface for Portability (HIP)

The HIP interface makes it very easy to port existing CUDA apps to run on AMD GPUs, or to develop new apps that can run on either CUDA or AMD GPUs from a common source base.

• HIP is very thin and has little or no performance impact over coding directly in CUDA NVCC mode.
• HIP allows developers to use the "best" development environment and tools on each target platform.
• HIP allows coding in a single-source C++ programming language including features such as templates, C++11 lambdas,and more.
• HIPIFY tools automatically convert CUDA sources to HIP.
• Developers can specialize for CUDA or HIP to tune for performance or handle tricky cases with #ifdef.
• See the HIP API.
