Compatibility of MEX with CUDA 7.5

I use Matlab R2015b and try to compile .cu files with mexcuda. My installed CUDA toolkit is 7.5. Is this compatible with matlab or do I need version7.0?

>> mexcuda -v vectorAdd.cu

Hi Fabien,

Parallel Computing Toolbox for R2015b supports only CUDA® Toolkit version 7.0. Refer to the release notes of Parallel Computing toolbox for R2015b below for more information on the same:

release-notes-R2015b

(Expand the section on "Upgraded Cuda Toolkit version")

I hope this helps answer your question.

Thanks,

Tushar

Bad news, but that's the answer I expected to get. Thanks a lot.
