HIP: Converting CUDA to C++.

[Aniket Pradhan]

Hello everyone!

I was exploring some libraries that can use the AMD GPU for
machine/deep learning. I was able to find some (not-so-promising)
results, but I also found the HIP [1] library for directly converting
the CUDA code to portable C++ code, such that it can run on both
NVidia or AMD GPUs.

I am sure some of you might be interested in packaging this lib for
Fedora. Its backend ROCm-runtime [2] is also available in the
repositories. It might just need a few more deps to be packaged (not
too sure about it), but that's for later.

I wasn't able to find a list of packages the SIG is
maintaining/packaging, and I was wondering if I could push this
library on the list as well. I can also help in the packaging process
if anyone is up for it. Do share your feedback regarding packaging the
lib, whether it should be packaged or not.

Hello again!

I found that HIP is already packaged for Fedora, and is available with
the name "hip".

Although I am not able to find the package on apps.fp.o but found the
package on src.fp.o [1].

very cool, thanks for the update Aniket.

i did like your idea about some sort of package list on the ml-sig wiki or
something. that would be cool, but might be a big load for someone to
maintain it.

We do not have to maintain a separated list on wiki because we already 
have the FAS group @machine-lerning-sig which has its own page on 
src.f.o: https://src.fedoraproject.org/group/machine-learning-sig

The list is currently empty and I haven't had time to find important 
AI/ML packages and offer our help with a maintenance but if you know 
some, let me know.

Have a nice day.

Turns out, it really is not a load to manage it. Have a look at
NeuroFedora-sig's issue board [1].
We just create new tickets to make a list of what all the tasks we
have and what packages we have to package. We also have a
documentation page [2] where we list the packages provided by the
NeuroSig.

I guess the ML-sig can adopt a similar strategy. if the SIG wants to,
I am always here to help. :D

very cool,

thanks Aniket and Lumir, i hadn't seen those resources before. it /does/
seems quite easy to collect, we just need to identify the packages and get
involved.
