Hello, I've the following Mathworks product
  • Matlab, Simulink
  • Curve fitting
  • Simscape electrical
Is it possible to gain any simulation speed using a GPU?
I don't want to buy any other add-on from Mathworks, just installing the gpu provide any benefit?
Another way to ask .. is it possible to use GPU capabilities without specific add-on?
Thanks

I find no evidence that any of the Simscape products will use the GPU.

Hi Walter, It should be very nice if Simscape blocks uses gpuarray functionalities, and other gpu computing feature, behind the scenes, to improve simulation speed for cuda gpu computer. At least for those who have parallel toolbox .. better for anyone :-)
Hope they will, in the future

You can only run calculations on a GPU using the Parallel Computing Toolbox.

Instead of using a GPU to speed up Simscape simulations, you can use an FPGA to simulate Simscape models. Please see this presentation regarding this topic using an example in the Simscape Electrical toolbox. Depending on the complexity of your model and available hardware, you can run Simscape models in real-time.

Communication Toolbox can use gpu, and Deep Learning, and I think I noticed one other.
