### Using HIP with the AMD Native-GCN compiler.
AMD recently released a direct-to-GCN-ISA target. This compiler generates GCN ISA directly from LLVM, without going through an intermediate compiler
IR such as HSAIL or PTX.
The native GCN target is included with upstream LLVM, and has also been integrated with HCC compiler and can be used to compiler HIP programs for AMD.
Here's how to use it with HIP:
- Follow the instructions here to compile the HCC and native LLVM compiler:
> https://github.com/RadeonOpenCompute/HCC-Native-GCN-ISA/wiki
> (In the make step for HCC, we recommend setting -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/hcc-native)
Set HCC_HOME environment variable before compiling HIP program to point to the native compiler:
> export HCC_HOME=/opt/hcc-native
```
