Syntax

reset(gpudev)

Description

example

reset(gpudev) resets the GPU device and clears its memory of gpuArray and CUDAKernel data. The GPU device identified by gpudev remains the selected device, but all gpuArray and CUDAKernel objects in MATLAB representing data on that device are invalid.

Examples

Select the GPU device and create a gpuArray.

g = gpuDevice(1);
M = gpuArray(magic(4))
M =

Reset the device.

reset(g);

Show that the device is still selected

Input Arguments

collapse all

GPU device, specified as a GPUDevice object that represents the currently selected device

Tips

After you reset a GPU device, any variables representing arrays or kernels on the device are invalid; you should clear or redefine them.
