Accelerating MATLAB with GPU Computing

Using CUDA-Accelerated Libraries

The c-mex configuration opens many possibilities for what we can do with our MATLAB programs. By using CUDA-accelerated libraries available off the shelf, we can even push the limits far beyond what MATLAB can do. Using other third-party libraries in c-mex is no different from using them in regular C/C++ programs. In this chapter, we discuss how to use CUDA Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines (CUBLAS) for MATLAB through c-mex, the CUDA FFT library (CUFFT) for MATLAB through c-mex, and Thrust, a C++ template library for CUDA based on the Standard Template Library (STL).
