However, when users use gcc or clang and do not specify target or CPU, the compiled program will execute on their system. This is because gcc or clang has a default target and CPU that works for the system. This is not the case for HIP since the default gfx803 will not work for the system unless the system happens to have a gfx803. To let the users have a similar experience with the default target/CPU as gcc/clang, HIP needs to assume the system GPU as the default. Users could specify --offload-arch explicitly if they want to compile for certain GPU's.
