Hello All,

I am using Matlab 2016b which supports Cuda 7.5 but not yet the latest 8.0 version. I recently complied a mex file that contained cuda 8.0 code and I am wondering if it would make Matlab workable with cuda 8.0 by copying cuda dll (e.g. cuda64_80.dll) into Matlab bin folder? and I am also wondering if the results would be guaranteed?

btw, does Matlab 2017 support cuda 8.0?

Thanks a lot

Yandong

Cuda 8.0 is not tested with R2016b and MathWorks does not guarantee that Cuda 8 will work with R2016b. Yes, Cuda 8.0 is supported in R2017a and you can try it out using the R2017a pre-release which you can download from the MathWorks website.
