Using hipRAND interfaces#

The hipRAND interface is compatible with the rocRAND and the NVIDIA CUDA cuRAND-v2 APIs. Porting a CUDA application that calls the cuRAND API to an application that calls the hipRAND API is relatively straightforward.

Host API#

For example, to create a generator, follow this example:

hiprandStatus_t
hiprandCreateGenerator(
   hiprandGenerator_t* generator,
   hiprandRngType_t rng_type
)

Device API#

Here is an example that generates a log-normally distributed float from a generator. These functions are templated for all generators.

__device__ double
hiprand_log_normal_double(
   hiprandStateSobol64_t* state,
   double mean,
   double stddev
)
