$CUDADevice

$CUDADevice

is the CUDA device used in computation.

Details and Options

  • The CUDALink package must be loaded using Needs["CUDALink`"].
  • Set to Automatic, the CUDA computations are performed on the fastest device.
  • Changes to the device performed after execution of a CUDALink function are ignored.

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

First, load the CUDALink application:

This sets the computation device to 1:

Subsequent computation using any of the CUDALink functions will use the $CUDADevice specified:
