Documentation about AMD's HSA implementation?

[Felix Kuehling]

There is also this: https://gpuopen.com/professional-compute/, which
give pointer to several libraries and tools that built on top of ROCm.


Another thing to keep in mind is, that ROCm is diverging from the strict
HSA standard in some important ways. For example the HSA standard
includes HSAIL as an intermediate representation that gets finalized on
the target system, whereas ROCm compiles directly to native GPU ISA.
