## hip_add_executable ### This tutorial shows how to use the FindHIP cmake module and create an executable using ```hip_add_executable``` macro. ## Including FindHIP cmake module in the project Since FindHIP cmake module is not yet a part of the default cmake distribution, ```CMAKE_MODULE_PATH``` needs to be updated to contain the path to FindHIP.cmake. The simplest approach is to use ``` set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "/opt/rocm/hip/cmake" ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH}) find_package(HIP) ``` A more generic solution that allows for a user specified location for the HIP installation would look something like ``` if(NOT DEFINED HIP_PATH) if(NOT DEFINED ENV{HIP_PATH}) set(HIP_PATH "/opt/rocm/hip" CACHE PATH "Path to which HIP has been installed") else() set(HIP_PATH $ENV{HIP_PATH} CACHE PATH "Path to which HIP has been installed") endif() endif() set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${HIP_PATH}/cmake" ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH}) find_package(HIP) ``` If your project already modifies ```CMAKE_MODULE_PATH```, you will need to append the path to FindHIP.cmake instead of replacing it. ## Using the hip_add_executable macro FindHIP provides the ```hip_add_executable``` macro that is similar to the ```cuda_add_executable``` macro that is provided by FindCUDA. The syntax is also similar. The ```hip_add_executable``` macro uses the hipcc wrapper as the compiler. The macro supports specifying HCC-specific, NVCC-specific compiler options using the ```HCC_OPTIONS``` and ```NVCC_OPTIONS``` keywords. Common options targeting both compilers can be specificed after the ```HIPCC_OPTIONS``` keyword. ## How to build and run: Use the following commands to build and execute the sample ``` mkdir build cd build cmake .. make ./MatrixTranspose ``` ## More Info: - [HIP FAQ](https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIP/docs/markdown/hip_faq.md) - [HIP Kernel Language](https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIP/docs/markdown/hip_kernel_language.md) - [HIP Runtime API (Doxygen)](http://rocm-developer-tools.github.io/HIP) - [HIP Porting Guide](https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIP/docs/markdown/hip_porting_guide.md) - [HIP Terminology](https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIP/docs/markdown/hip_terms.md) (including Rosetta Stone of GPU computing terms across CUDA/HIP/HC/AMP/OpenL) - [hipify-clang](https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIP/hipify-clang/README.md) - [Developer/CONTRIBUTING Info](https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIP/CONTRIBUTING.md) - [Release Notes](https://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIP/RELEASE.md)
