HIP

This article is a stub. Please help out by expanding it - how to get started.

HIP is the acronym of "Heterogeneous-Compute Interface for Portability". HIP is a C++ dialect to help conversion of Cuda applications to C++ in a portable manner. In other words, HIP is an abstraction layer that can either use the underlying lower-level ROCm libraries if your system has an AMD GPU or redirect the calls to CUDA if you have an nVidia GPU. As stated in the HIP FAQ:

HIP provides porting tools which do most of the work to convert CUDA code into portable C++ code that uses the HIP APIs. Most developers will port their code from CUDA to HIP and then maintain the HIP version. HIP code provides the same performance as native CUDA code, plus the benefits of running on AMD platforms.

However it is not CUDA a drop-in and it only supports a CUDA functions sub-set.

Installation

dev-util/hip pulls in basic libraries, APIs and utilities that can compile and run a HIP program. Several other HIP/ROCm libaries can be found in sci-libs.

Warning
dev-util/hip uses the system LLVM/Clang (as provided by sys-devel/clang and related packages).

USE flags

USE flags for dev-util/hip C++ Heterogeneous-Compute Interface for Portability

`+hip`	Build HIP runtime
`debug`	Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Backtraces
`doc`	Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of globally
`opencl`	Build OpenCL runtime
`profile`	Add support for software performance analysis (will likely vary from ebuild to ebuild)
`test`	Enable dependencies and/or preparations necessary to run tests (usually controlled by FEATURES=test but can be toggled independently)
`video_cards_amdgpu`	Build for AMD platform
`video_cards_nvidia`	Build for Nvidia platform

Emerge

Install dev-util/hip:

root #emerge --ask dev-util/hip

Note
hipcc is a Perl wrapper of Clang. By default, clang uses libstdc++ provided by gcc (sys-devel/gcc), and that causes bugs sometimes (e.g. bug #842405 and bug #857126, both fixed).

Additional software

Extra utilities, such as profiler for HIP program, can also be installed:

root #emerge --ask dev-util/rocprofiler

HIP Utilities

hipcc (Clang wrapper)

Using Clang/LLVM to compile a C++ HIP program requires several "cumbersome" command-line parameters. Fortunately, dev-util/hip provides a clang wrapper called hipcc, which handles the underlying complexity of Clang invocation.

To automatically detect GPU architecture and compile a HIP program, run:

user $hipcc foo.cpp -o bar

To specify GPU architectures and fine-tune the features to be used, use the --offload-arch command-line option:

user $hipcc --offload-arch=gfx906:sramecc+:xnack- --offload-arch=gfx90a:sramecc+:xnack+ --offload-arch=gfx1031 foo.cpp -o bar

For architecture argument, see LLVM AMDGPU processors for details.

To view the detailed clang command executed, set the HIPCC_VERBOSE environment variable to 1 on the command-line (or export it). For the above command it should give something like:

user $

HIPCC_VERBOSE=1 hipcc --offload-arch=gfx906:sramecc+:xnack- --offload-arch=gfx90a:sramecc+:xnack+ --offload-arch=gfx1031 foo.cpp -o bar

/usr/lib/llvm/15/bin/clang++  --offload-arch=gfx906:sramecc+:xnack- --offload-arch=gfx90a:sramecc+:xnack+ --offload-arch=gfx1031 -fno-stack-protector -O3 -mllvm -amdgpu-early-inline-all=true -mllvm -amdgpu-function-calls=false --rocm-path="/usr" --hip-device-lib-path="/usr/lib/amdgcn/bitcode"  -L"/usr/lib64" -O3 -lgcc_s -lgcc -lpthread -lm -lrt  -x hip foo.cpp -o "bar" -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -lamdhip64  -L/usr/lib/llvm/15/bin/../../../../lib/clang/16/lib/linux -lclang_rt.builtins-x86_64

Libraries list and path parameters put aside, notice the parameters:

-x : to tell the compiler to threat foo.cpp as C++ HIP file (not a "regular" C++ file)
--rocm-path : the root path where the ROCm stuff resides
--hip-device-lib-path : the path to find the GPU bitcode files
-amdgpu-early-inline-all=true -amdgpu-function-calls=false is a workaround for some use cases discussed here. Quoting:

amdclang++ relies on inlining heuristics to control inlining. Users experiencing performance or compilation issues with code using file scoped or device function scoped __shared__ variables could try -mllvm -amdgpu-early-inline-all=true -mllvm -amdgpu-function-calls=false to work around the issue. These issues will be addressed in future compiler improvements.

-fno-stack-protector is a workaround for hardened toolchain flags, which include -fstack-protector-strong. Until fix in Clang-18.1.0, Clang attempts to add stack-protector even to targets, which does not have runtime support, causing ineffective code or crashes during compilation. hipcc disables stack-protector for that reason.

hipconfig

hipconfig is a Perl script for displaying the configuration of HIP.

Testing your HIP installation

To test the installation, start by downloading a simple example from the ROCm GitHub repository:

user $

cd /tmp &&
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIP-CPU/master/examples/vadd_hip/vadd_hip.cpp

Then simply compile it with hipcc:

user $hipcc vadd_hip.cpp -o vadd_hip

and run it:

user $./vadd_hip

PASSED!

So far so good. For those unfamiliar with GPU computing, this simple program does the following:

It allocates three buffers of 1,000,000 float numbers each in the main (host) memory, those are named A_h, B_h and C_h (by coding convention 'h' for 'host')
It does the same on the GPU device (i.e. your discrete video card or iGPU), respectively named A_d, B_d and C_d
It initializes two of the buffers (A_h and B_h) with some numbers
It copies the contents of A and B buffers from the host to their counterpart on the device so A_h is copied into A_d and B_h into B_d
It then spawns the HIP kernel (i.e. the function vadd_hip()) on the GPU device. That kernel takes the numbers stored in A_d and B_d and sum them in parallel using the GPU compute units and puts the results in C_d (So C_d[0] = A_d[0] + B_d[0], C_d[1] = A_d[1] + B_d[1] and so on)
The results stored in C_d are copied back in the main memory (i.e. into C_h)
The very same calculations are done on CPU and the results is compared to what has been computed on the GPU device
If differences between the results computed on the CPU and GPU are found, an error message is shown else "PASSED!" is displayed.

It is also possible to have a very detailed trace of what is going on using the AMD_LOG_LEVEL^[1]^[2] environment variable. Its value can be between 0(LOG_NONE) to 4 (LOG_DEBUG) that latter value giving the maximum amount of details.

For the above example:

user $AMD_LOG_LEVEL=4 ./vadd_hip

:3:devprogram.cpp           :2979: 102993892796 us: 17154: [tid:0x7f0824e798c0] For Init/Fini: Kernel Name: _Z8vadd_hipPKfS0_Pfi

In case of a program that have a HIP kernel crash with error like "Page not present", this can give a first idea about what is going on.

Tip
As kernels are C++ functions, it is possible to demangle them running c++filt and passing the mangled name as an argument=> c++filt _Z8vadd_hipPKfS0_Pfi which gives the result vadd_hip(float const*, float const*, float*, int).
