+### What if I see application hangs after a hipLaunchKernel call?
+If hipLaunchKernel takes parameters that request explicitly memcpy, then it will cause application hang. 
+Reason is that the hipLaunchKernel macro locks the stream.  
+If kernel paramters are actually function calls which invoke other hip apis (i.e. memcpy) to the same stream, then deadlock occurs.
+
+To workaround, try:
+Move the function calls so they occur outside the hipLaunchKernel macro, store results in temps, then use the tems inside the kernel.
