# Square.md

Simple test below is an example, shows how to use hipify-perl to port CUDA code to HIP:

- Add hip/bin path to the PATH

```
$ export PATH=$PATH:[MYHIP]/bin
```

- Define environment variable

```
$ export HIP_PATH=[MYHIP]
```

- Build executible file

```
$ cd ~/hip/samples/0_Intro/square
$ make
/home/user/hip/bin/hipify-perl square.cu > square.cpp
/home/user/hip/bin/hipcc  square.cpp -o square.out
/home/user/hip/bin/hipcc -use-staticlib  square.cpp -o square.out.static
```
- Execute file
```
$ ./square.out
