MATLAB GPU Processing: AMD Radeon

Hello

I try to deal with transfer learning + pre-trained model + dataset (my dataset is in medical image).

Computer features: Core i7 processor , Intel HD graphic 620 & AMD Readeon(TM) R7 M340, Matlab 2020a

The error message is " Error using gpuDevice Unable to load CUDA driver. The library name used was nvcuda.dll. The error was: The specified module could not be found. Update or reinstall your GPU driver."

How can fix my error ??

You will have to use CPU as MATLAB only supports Nvidia GPU.

1) Matlab supports only CUDA enabled NVIDIA GPUs

2) Go to site: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus

3) For every Matlab version, you have to download a specific CUDA toolkit.

To select an NVIDIA GPU

1) Go to site: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus, and select a GPU according to your needs

2) Add GPU in computer/labtop motherboard

3) Download a specific CUDA Driver

Driver only: https://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk

Driver is enough for most Matlab users, as Joss Knight has clarified.

Only advanced users (like game developers) will need full CUDA toolkit.

4) Use Matlab command dev=gpuDevice to find whether everything went fine

Hi, just to clarify here, it is not the whole toolkit you need, just the driver. https://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-uk

He is using AMD GPU. So does that mean that Matlab cannot utilize AMD GPUs?

@Vojtech Langer

The only kind of GPU supported by MATLAB is some of the newer NVIDIA -- Kepler with CUDA 3.5 to Ampere with CUDA 8.x .

No AMD GPU are supported. The Apple M1 GPU is also not supported.

Unfortunately, adding support for GPU families turns out to involve a fair bit of work, and the infrastructure for AMD GPU and Apple M1 GPU just is not available in a useful form.
