 Many existing Cuda projects use the ".cu" and ".cuh" file extensions to indicate code that should be run through the nvcc compiler. 
 For quick HIP ports, leaving these file extensions unchanged is often easier, as it minimizes the work required to change file names in the directory and #include statements in the files.

 ".hip.h" or ".hip.hpp" for header files.
 This indicates that the code is standard C++ code, but also provides a unique indication for make tools to
