Editor's Note: This file was selected as MATLAB Central Pick of the Week

GPUBENCH times different MATLAB GPU tasks and estimates the peak performance of your GPU in floating-point operations per second (FLOP/s). It produces a detailed HTML report showing how your GPU's performance compares to pre-stored performance results from a range of other GPUs.
Note that this tool is designed for comparing GPU hardware. It does not compare GPU performance across different MATLAB releases.
Requires MATLAB R2016b or above and a GPU with CUDA Compute Capability 3.5 or higher.

Update screenshot

2.4

* Remove results from unsupported cards and replace with more modern ones
* Switch to TeraFLOPs now that high end cards reach tens of TFLOPS
* Simplify progress reporting to better support older releases
* Simplify bar charts
* Misc bug fixes

2.2

- Fix bug where lack of CPU memory could prevent running on GPU.
- Fix bug where single output syntax errored out.

2.1

Fix string issues with MATLAB version R2016b.

2.0

- Update stored data to have one JSON file per device
- Add data-file links to the summary report to make sharing results easier
- Add line styles to report plots better differentiate results when more than 8 devices are plotted

1.12.0.0

Update reference data for R2018a to R2020b.
Update report style.
Make summary table sortable.
Remove the warning in report when the data was generated using a different release to the client's.

1.11.0.0

Update report style.
Remove warning about old pre-stored results.

1.10.0.0

Update R2017b data file
Fix a problem with the data location when running the app in R2014b
Add data files for R2017a

1.9.0.0

* Improve compatibility with MATLAB R2014b
