Is the GTX 1070 supported currently for the parallel computing toolbox?

Hello, I am wondering if the GTX 1070 (I have the MSI Gaming x 8G) is supported in the parallel computing toolbox since in my project, i have to generate around 540 points with 100 iterations at each (54,000 points in total) and my cpu (i7-6700k) is not as efficient as i thought, computing the entirety in 20-30 minutes. I was looking in the past for answers but all i could see is that they are unsupported which was 8 years ago.

Hello,

Yes, your NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 should be supported by MATLAB’s Parallel Computing Toolbox. According to the MATLAB GPU Computing Requirements, MATLAB supports NVIDIA GPU architectures with compute capability from 3.5 to 9.x1. The GTX 1070 falls within this range.

To check if your GPU is recognized by MATLAB, you can use the 'gpuDevice' function in MATLAB. If your GPU is recognized, this function will return information about the GPU. If it’s not recognized, it will return an error.

Remember to install the latest graphics driver for your GPU. You can download drivers for your GPU at the NVIDIA Driver Downloads page.

Hope this helps.
