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. :)
