Hello,
I am planning to buy an external GPU for my 2016 MacBook Pro, and I am wondering whether Matlab can take advantage of it for high-peformance computing, Machine Learning and Deep Learning tasks? Any hints on a particular enclosure or GPU to maximize compatibility? I prefer an nvidia GPU to run my other CUDA-based programs. My first guess is GTX-1080Ti or Titan-X on an Akito Node enclosure via Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C).
Alternatively I would consider connecting the eGPU to a linux host.
Which of both configurations would maximize matlab compatibility and performance?
Thank you in advance,

Is there any update for macOS now?
Has anyone tested macOS with Nvidia eGPU CUDA acceleration?

I have mixed reports. Some of our engineers have successfully got this working and others have failed. The biggest sticking point is the need to disable certain kernel protections.
