Number of Local Workers Increased to Twelve
You can now run up to 12 local workers on your MATLAB client machine. If you do not
specify the number of local workers in a command or configuration, the default number
of local workers is determined by the value of the local scheduler's ClusterSize property,
which by default equals the number of computational cores on the client machine.
Enhanced GPU Support
Latest NVIDIA CUDA Device Driver
This version of Parallel Computing Toolbox GPU functionality supports only the latest
NVIDIA CUDA device driver.
Compatibility Considerations
Earlier versions of the toolbox supported earlier versions of CUDA device driver. Always
make sure you have the latest CUDA device driver.
Deployment of GPU Applications
MATLAB Compilerâ„¢ generated standalone executables and components now support
applications that use the GPU.
Random Number Generation
You can now directly create arrays of random numbers on the GPU using these new
static methods for GPUArray objects:
parallel.gpu.GPUArray.rand
parallel.gpu.GPUArray.randi
parallel.gpu.GPUArray.randn
