MATLAB GPU Computing Support for NVIDIA CUDA-Enabled GPUs
Perform MATLAB Computations on CUDA GPUs
Using MATLAB for GPU computing lets you accelerate your applications with GPUs more easily than by using C or Fortran. With the familiar MATLAB language you can take advantage of the CUDA GPU computing technology without having to learn the intricacies of GPU architectures or low-level GPU computing libraries.
You can use GPUs with MATLAB through Parallel Computing Toolbox, which supports:
- NVIDIA CUDA GPUs with compute capability version 1.3 or higher, including Tesla GPUs. These GPUs support double-precision computations.
- GPU use directly from MATLAB
- GPU-enabled MATLAB functions such as
fft,filter, and several linear algebra operations - GPU-enabled functions in toolboxes: Communications System Toolbox, Neural Network Toolbox, Phased Array Systems Toolbox and Signal Processing Toolbox
- CUDA kernel integration in MATLAB applications, using only a single line of MATLAB code
- GPU-enabled MATLAB functions such as
- Multiple GPUs on the desktop and computer clusters using MATLAB workers in Parallel Computing Toolbox and MATLAB Distributed Computing Server
