Unable to run "Deep learning" code becuase of CUDA driver

My PC is AMD 5600g processor and my MATLAB 2020a;

I downloaded a deep learning framework from GitHub; I got the following error when I tried to run:

Unable to load CUDA driver. The library name used was nvcuda.dll. The error was:

The specified module could not be found.

Update or reinstall your GPU driver. For more information on GPU support, see GPU Support by Release.

Please how to solve this probleme?

Hi @riad didou,

CUDA is limited to NVIDIA hardware and hence cannot be used with an AMD processor as an NVIDIA GPU is required for CUDA based operations. There are ways to cross-compile CUDA to different languages such as https://github.com/ROCm/HIP however that still doesn't imply that CUDA can be utilized with AMD hardware.

For AMD processors, OpenCL is the best alternative (https://www.khronos.org/opencl/resources) however as of now MATLAB doesn't provide any support for OpenCL.

For any future updates on the GPU Computing Requirements for MATLAB, refer to this documentation: https://www.mathworks.com/help/parallel-computing/gpu-computing-requirements.html
