MATLAB: Are AMD graphics cards supported for GPU computation with the Parallel Computing Toolbox 5.2 (R2011b)

Question

I would like to make use of GPU computation on my graphics card with the Parallel Computing Toolbox 5.2 (R2011b).

However, since I have an Apple computer, I do not have NVIDIA graphics hardware, and does not support the CUDA framework.

Does the Parallel Computing Toolbox support the OpenCL framework?

Answer 1

This functionality is not available in the Parallel Computing Toolbox 5.2 (R2011b). As of R2011b, the only supported GPUs are NVIDIA CUDA enabled GPUs with a compute capability 1.3 or higher. Please refer to:

An enhancement request has been submitted for consideration of future support.

As of R2013b, we do not support AMD GPU Devices.
