hipCUB is a thin wrapper library on top of rocPRIM or CUB. It enables developers to port project using CUB library to the HIP layer and to run them on AMD hardware. In ROCm environment hipCUB uses rocPRIM library as the backend, however, on CUDA platforms it uses CUB instead.

• Git
• CMake (3.5.1 or later)
• For AMD GPUs:
  • AMD ROCm platform (1.8.0 or later)
    • Including HCC compiler, which must be set as C++ compiler on ROCm platform.
  • rocPRIM library
    • It will be automatically downloaded and built by CMake script.
• For NVIDIA GPUs:
  • CUDA Toolkit
  • CUB library (automatically downloaded and by CMake script)

Optional:

• GTest
  • Required only for tests. Building tests is enabled by default.
  • It will be automatically downloaded and built by CMake script.

git clone https://github.com/ROCmSoftwarePlatform/hipCUB.git

# Go to hipCUB directory, create and go to the build directory.
cd hipCUB; mkdir build; cd build

# Configure hipCUB, setup options for your system.
# Build options:
#   BUILD_TEST - ON by default,
#
# ! IMPORTANT !
# On ROCm platform set C++ compiler to HCC. You can do it by adding 'CXX=<path-to-hcc>'
# before 'cmake' or setting cmake option 'CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER' to path to the HCC compiler.
#
[CXX=hcc] cmake ../. # or cmake-gui ../.

# Build
make -j4

# Optionally, run tests if they're enabled.
ctest --output-on-failure

# Package
make package

# Install
[sudo] make install

Recommended way of including hipCUB into a CMake project is by using its package configuration files.

# On ROCm hipCUB requires rocPRIM
find_package(rocprim REQUIRED CONFIG PATHS "/opt/rocm/rocprim")

# "/opt/rocm" - default install prefix
find_package(hipcub REQUIRED CONFIG PATHS "/opt/rocm/hipcub")

...
# On ROCm: includes hipCUB headers and roc::rocprim_hip target
# On CUDA: includes only hipCUB headers, user has to include CUB directory
target_link_libraries(<your_target> hip::hipcub)

Include only the main header file:

#include <hipcub/hipcub.hpp>

CUB or rocPRIM headers are included by hipCUB depending on the current HIP platform.

# Go to hipCUB build directory
cd hipCUB; cd build

# To run all tests
ctest

# To run unit tests for hipCUB
./test/hipcub/<unit-test-name>

# go to hipCUB doc directory
cd hipCUB; cd doc

# run doxygen
doxygen Doxyfile

# open html/index.html
