Tinkering with HIPIFY
While HIP is designed for AMD GPUs. There is tool call HIPIFY which can be used to convert CUDA files to HIP files. Then it can be complied and run on NVIDIA GPUs as well as AMD GPUs. Sweeet!
1. Install RCOM 6.0 on via package manager.

create a cuda file. and hipfy it
cat a.cu
#include <stdio.h>
__global__ void k(){
printf("hello %u!\n", threadIdx.x);
}
int main(void){
k<<<2,32>>>();
cudaDeviceSynchronize();
return 0;
}
hipify-perl a.cu -o a-perl.hip hipify-clang a.cu -o a-clang.hip
cat a-perl.hip
#include "hip/hip_runtime.h"
#include <stdio.h>
__global__ void k(){
printf("hello %u!\n", threadIdx.x);
}
int main(void){
k<<<2,32>>>();
hipDeviceSynchronize();
return 0;
}
run hipcc a-perl.hip -o a-perl.out && ./a-perl.out
both hipifiy-clang (AST-based translator w/ strict syntax checking) and hipifiy-perl (regular expression based. hipifys even erroring .cu files also) have their own advantages and disadvantages. // read adv and disadv sections.
bit of compiler knowledge would help them understand better.
hipifytools are still under heavy development so there is no guarantee that it will produce correct code; sometimes one may have to edit as well. Compile hip files from both of them and see if it runs fine on AMD.
