Notes:

• The code has been tested using HCC tagged version develop_0.10.16415.
• For convenience, a script that pulls the correct HCC and HIP code from github and builds it as well has been added to the release. To use it, simply download the script build_hcc_and_hip.sh to an empty folder on your development machine and run ./build_hcc_and_hip.sh
• Alternatively you can download the HCC and HIP debian packages from the corresponding project release tags.
