hipcc - 5.7.1-5 main

HIP (Heterogeneous Interface for Portability) is a C++ Runtime API and Kernel
Language that allows developers to create portable applications for AMD and
NVIDIA GPUs from single source code.
.
Key features include:
.
* HIP is very thin and has little or no performance impact over coding
directly in CUDA mode;
* HIP allows coding in a single-source C++ programming language including
features such as templates, C++11 lambdas, classes, namespaces, and more;
* HIP allows developers to use the "best" development environment and tools
on each target platform;
* the HIPify tools automatically convert source from CUDA to HIP;
* developers can specialize for the platform (CUDA or AMD) to tune for
performance or handle tricky cases.
.
New projects can be developed directly in the portable HIP C++ language and
can run on either NVIDIA or AMD platforms. Additionally, HIP provides porting
tools which make it easy to port existing CUDA codes to the HIP layer, with no
loss of performance as compared to the original CUDA application. HIP is not
intended to be a drop-in replacement for CUDA, and developers should expect to
do some manual coding and performance tuning work to complete the port.
