NVIDIA QUADRO CUDA® Toolkit Version

Hi there,

I am planning to buy a HP desktop (16 processing cores) with NVIDIA QUADRO so I can use CUDA GPUs toolkits with Matlab.

I am currently using 2019a MATLAB (on HP notebook with NVIDIA QUADRO P600) but may be upgradding it to the latest version by the end of the year.

Just read the below link, and I am not sure which QUADRO I should aim for my desktop so I can use the same m scripts for both notebook and desktop to run my deep learning algorithm models?

GPU Support by Release - MATLAB & Simulink - MathWorks Australia

Appreciate any input, thanks,

Sri

MATLAB R2021a supports all NVIDIA GPUs as of this date, so feel free to get any card you want! The fastest Quadro I know of right now is the RTX 8000.

Thanks for the response Joss, appreciated.

Just double checked, if I dont upgrade my MATLAB (2019) will RTX800 support it?

[Joss Knight]

This page says the RTX 8000 is compute capability 7.5 and this page says MATLAB started supporting compute capability 7.5 in R2018a. So you're good.

[Sri Adiyanti]

Thankyou.

Hi Joss,

Apparently RTX 8000 is difficult to get in Australia, plus it's over my budget.

I am on waiting for the one with RTX 4000 - it's been 2 months and looking like an open end!! crazy

I am in processing to upgrade my MATLAB to MATLAB R2021a with Image Processing and Data Science packages. Do I need to buy special toolbox so I can run my m scipt using GPU.

Thanks.

[Joss Knight]

Yes, you need Parallel Computing Toolbox to use your GPU device in MATLAB for computation.

[Sri Adiyanti]

Thanks Joss.

I fakely remember i read from this space, someone has a problem with running parallel computing using Xeon Silver processor? is it an issue?

[Joss Knight]

Sorry, that would be a new question (for someone else).

[Sri Adiyanti]

Hi Joss, thanks for your reply re Parallel Computing Toolbox.

I will rephrase my question then, does Matlab Parallel Computing Toolbox support Intel® Xeon® Silver 4214 Processor?

[Joss Knight]

I don't know, try looking at the System Requirements for MATLAB and for Parallel Computing Toolbox. I have no idea why it wouldn't.
