Does MATLAB R2021b support CUDA toolkit version 11.1 for my Ampere GPU with compute capability 8.6?

I am using MATLAB R2021b with a GPU device with Ampere architecture and compute capability 8.6, which according to the following links below, CUDA SDK toolkit version 11.1 is required for devices of up to compute capability 8.6:

• https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/archive/11.1.0/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/#cuda-general-new-features
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA#GPUs_supported

The following documentation page (https://www.mathworks.com/help/parallel-computing/gpu-computing-requirements.html), however, states that for 8.x compute capability devices, the required CUDA toolkit version is 11.0.

Does MATLAB R2021b support CUDA toolkit version 11.1 for my Ampere GPU with compute capability 8.6?

MATLAB R2021b does support CUDA toolkit version 11.1 for Ampere GPUs with compute capability 8.6.

 

This discrepancy is confusing because version 11.1 is required for your device while 11.0 would not work.
