Release:0.84.01
Date: 2016.04.25

  • Refactor HIP make and install system:
    • Move to CMake. Refer to the installation section in README.md for details.
    • Split source into multiple modular .cpp and .h files.
    • Create static library and link.
    • Set HIP_PATH to install.
  • Make hipDevice and hipStream thread-safe.
    • Prefered hipStream usage is still to create new streams for each new thread, but it works even if you don;t.
  • Improve automated platform detection: If AMD GPU is installed and detected by driver, default HIP_PLATFORM to hcc.
  • HIP_TRACE_API now prints arguments to the HIP function (in addition to name of function).
  • Deprecate hipDeviceGetProp (Replace with hipGetDeviceProp)
  • Deprecate hipMallocHost (Replace with hipHostMalloc)
  • Deprecate hipFreeHost (Replace with hipHostFree)
  • The mixbench benchmark tool for measuring operational intensity now has a HIP target, in addition to CUDA and OpenCL. Let the comparisons begin. :)
