HIP Workshop
The Heterogeneous Interface for Portability (HIP) provides a programming framework for harnessing the compute capabilities of multicore processors such as the MI250X GPU’s on Setonix.
In this course we focus on the essentials of developing HIP applications with a focus on supercomputing.
Agenda
16-18 May 2023
- Introduction to HIP and high level features
- How to build and run applications on Setonix with HIP and MPI
- A complete line-by-line walkthrough of a HIP-enabled application
- Tools and techniques for debugging and measuring the performance of HIP applications
19 May 2023
- Programming challenge – choose your own adventure in programming with HIP!
– or –
- Bring your own code and receive feedback and assistance
TO BE SCHEDULED: Advanced HIP Course: August / September 2023
- A subsequent advanced course will incorporate topics like advanced memory management, kernel and IO optimisation, and porting HIP applications from CUDA.
