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, CLANG-specific, NVCC-specific compiler options using the HCC_OPTIONS, CLANG_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
