Syntax

reset(gpudev)

Description

reset(gpudev) resets the GPU device and clears its memory of gpuArray and CUDAKernel data. The GPU device identified by gpudev remains the selected device, but all gpuArray and CUDAKernel objects in MATLAB representing data on that device are invalid. The CachePolicy property of the device is reset to the default. For more information, see gpuDevice.

Select the GPU device and create a gpuArray.

D = gpuDevice;
M = eye(4,"gpuArray")
M =

     1     0     0     0
     0     1     0     0

Reset the device

reset(D);

Show that the device is still selected.

GPU device, specified as a GPUDevice object that represents the currently selected device

Tips

After you reset a GPU device, any variables representing arrays or kernels on the device are invalid; you should clear or redefine them.
