HIP for HC Direct Function Call EAP

These packages are provided for use in tandem with the HC EAP that adds direct function call support: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/hcc/releases. There are no other modifications. Minimal testing has been conducted on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04.

PyTorch EAP

This is a non-modified version of the 1.9.2 HIP codebase compiled with the PyTorch specific HCC EAP available here: https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/hcc/releases/tag/roc-1.9.2-pytorch-eap. It adds no features and exposes no behavioural differences by rapport with the released 1.9.2 version, and is only intended to be used with the aforementioned version of HCC. It has been verified with:

• Ubuntu 16.04/18.04
• CentOS 7.5 with Developer Toolset 7.

preview_1.4.17405

• Improvements to HIP event management
• Added new HIP_TRACE_API options
• Enabled device side assert support
• Several bug fixes including hipMallocArray, hipTexture fetch
• Support for RHEL/CentOS 7.4
• Updates to hipify-perl, hipify-clang and documentation

Notes:

• The code has been tested using HCC tagged version preview_1.0.17403.

preview_1.3.17333

• hipcc now auto-detects amdgcn arch. No need to specify the arch when building for same system.
• HIP texture support
• Implemented __threadfence_support
• Improvements in HIP context management logic
• Bug fixes in several APIs including hipDeviceGetPCIBusId, hipEventDestroy, hipMemcpy2DAsync

Notes:

• The code has been tested using HCC tagged version preview_1.0.17333.
• For convenience, a script that pulls the correct HIP code from github and builds it as well has been added to the release. To use it, simply download the script build_hcc_and_hip.sh to an empty folder on your development machine and run ./build_hcc_and_hip.sh.
• Alternatively you can download the HCC and HIP debian packages for Ubuntu 16.04 from the corresponding project release tags.

preview_1.0.17241

• new APIs: hipMemcpy2DAsync, hipMallocPitch, hipHostMallocCoherent, hipHostMallocNonCoherent

• hipify-clang updates for CUDA 8.0 runtime+driver support
• renamed hipify to hipify-perl
• initial implementation of hipify-cmakefile
• several documentation updates & bug fixes

Notes:

• The code has been tested using HCC tagged version preview_1.0.17236.
• For convenience, a script that pulls the correct HIP code from github and builds it as well has been added to the release. To use it, simply download the script build_hcc_and_hip.sh to an empty folder on your development machine and run ./build_hcc_and_hip.sh.
• Alternatively you can download the HCC and HIP debian packages for Ubuntu 16.04 from the corresponding project release tags.

ROCm 1.5.0

Contributor specific changes:
@adityaaatluri
Features:

1. Added new API hipHccModuleLaunchKernel which works exactly as hipModuleLaunchKernel but takes OpenCL programming models launch parameters. And its test
2. Added new API hipMemPtrGetInfo
3. Added new field to hipDeviceProp_t -> gcnArch which returns 803, 700, 900 etc.,

Bug Fixes:

1. Added return status check for module_api
2. Fixed Copyright and header names
3. Fixed issue with bit_extract sample
4. Enable lgamma and lgammaf
5. Added guard for GFX8 specific intrinsics
6. Fixed few issues with operator overloading of vector data types
7. Fixed atanf
8. Added guard for __half data types to work with clang version more than 3. (Will be removed eventually).
9. Fixed 4_shfl to work only for gfx803 as hawaii don't support permute ops
