[WIP] Alpaka update to fix broken HIP/HCC backend

tdd11235813 commented 5 years ago

update is required, since cupla/dev with HIP backend is currently not working due to host-device context errors with HCC
Alpaka update not finished here because this PR needs to be merged first (will fix host-device context errors with HCC)

Edit: subtree update:

GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="crp-git" GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="crp-git@hzdr.de" \
   git subtree pull --prefix alpaka \
   git@github.com:ComputationalRadiationPhysics/alpaka develop --squash

Does it make sense to add this as an update_alpaka.sh script somewhere?

Could you please add the command you used to update the subtree and the alpaka commit hash.

Since alpaka and cupla currently support HIP, I will close this PR.
