[section:hip ROCm/HIP]

[@http://github.com/ROCm-Developer-Tools/HIP/tree/roc-1.6.0/ HIP] is part of the
[@http://rocm.github.io/ ROC (Radeon Open Compute)] platform for parallel computing
on AMD and NVIDIA GPUs. The application programming interface of HIP gives access to
GPU's instruction set and computation resources (Execution of compute kernels).


[heading Synchronization with ROCm/HIP streams]

HIP operation such as compute kernels or memory transfer (between host and
device) can be grouped/queued by HIP streams. are executed on the GPUs.
Boost.Fiber enables a fiber to sleep (suspend) till a HIP stream has completed
its operations. This enables applications to run other fibers on the CPU without
the need to spawn an additional OS-threads. And resume the fiber when the HIP
streams has finished.

            int idx = threadIdx.x + blockIdx.x * blockDim.x;

                int idx1 = (idx + 1) % 256;
                int idx2 = (idx + 2) % 256;
                float as = (a[idx] + a[idx1] + a[idx2]) / 3.0f;
                float bs = (b[idx] + b[idx1] + b[idx2]) / 3.0f;
                c[idx] = (as + bs) / 2;
