Is it possible to run Matlab with Parallel Computing toolbox on Amazon GPU ?

Issue: Can't run Matlab Parallel Computing Toolbox on Amazon GPU.

Steps I did: - Run Amazon G2 instance (it has nvidia GRID K520) - Install nvidia Driver - Install Matlab with Parallel Toolbox - run gpuDevice in Matlab and got error: Not supported GPU device was found ... (see attachment)

Q: Is it possible to run Matlab with Parallel Computing toolbox on Amazon GPU? Any features / tricks / suggestions?

Is "nvidia GRID K520" having CUDA compute capability of 1.3 or higher?

[Sean de Wolski]

Just to be clear, MATLAB is installed and running on Amazon, not locally?

Yes, MATLAB is installed and running on Amazon (you can see it on the top of the screenshot). Why? I run MATLAB locally. I started to lean neural network and NN training takes too long (> 2 weeks). So, I bought Parallel Computing Toolbox and would like to run code on Amazon's GPU. GPU costs about $4K what is too much for buying it for non commercial project. Rent on Amazon for this task is about $30 what is ok for me.

Nvidia GRID K520 Compute Capability: CUDA 3.0

Looks like you might be using Windows Remote Desktop, is that right? Try using an alternative remote desktop tool like UltraVNC or NoMachine NXClient and you will probably find it works fine.

If this is the problem then it can also be circumvented by enabling TCC mode on the server. You may need admin priviledges.

if connect with UltraVNC - it works. Thanks
