Perhaps for HIP compilation it would make more sense to define __CUDA_ARCH__ as 1 (this should serve as a legacy indication of device-side compilation) and define __HIP_ARCH__ to indicate which AMD GPU we're compiling for without accidentally enabling something that was intended for NVIDIA's GPUs only.

I asked Ben Sander about whether we can define __HIP_ARCH__, here is his answer:

HIP targets a broader set of hardware than just a single vendor so additional flexibility in defining feature capability is required.  The HIP_ARCH_ macro provide per-feature-granularity mechanism to query features.  Also the code tends to be more clear as opposed to an "if __CUDA_ARCH>3 ..assume some feature".

For example


```
// 32-bit Atomics:
#define __HIP_ARCH_HAS_GLOBAL_INT32_ATOMICS__ (1)
#define __HIP_ARCH_HAS_GLOBAL_FLOAT_ATOMIC_EXCH__ (1)
#define __HIP_ARCH_HAS_SHARED_INT32_ATOMICS__ (1)
#define __HIP_ARCH_HAS_SHARED_FLOAT_ATOMIC_EXCH__ (1)
#define __HIP_ARCH_HAS_FLOAT_ATOMIC_ADD__ (1)

// 64-bit Atomics:
#define __HIP_ARCH_HAS_GLOBAL_INT64_ATOMICS__ (1)
#define __HIP_ARCH_HAS_SHARED_INT64_ATOMICS__ (0)

// Doubles
#define __HIP_ARCH_HAS_DOUBLES__ (1)

// warp cross-lane operations:
#define __HIP_ARCH_HAS_WARP_VOTE__ (1)
#define __HIP_ARCH_HAS_WARP_BALLOT__ (1)
#define __HIP_ARCH_HAS_WARP_SHUFFLE__ (1)
#define __HIP_ARCH_HAS_WARP_FUNNEL_SHIFT__ (0)

// sync
#define __HIP_ARCH_HAS_THREAD_FENCE_SYSTEM__ (1)
#define __HIP_ARCH_HAS_SYNC_THREAD_EXT__ (0)

// misc
#define __HIP_ARCH_HAS_SURFACE_FUNCS__ (0)
#define __HIP_ARCH_HAS_3DGRID__ (1)
#define __HIP_ARCH_HAS_DYNAMIC_PARALLEL__ (0)
```
