Disable the gpu.

Good morning,
I have matlab version 2022b and I would like to disable the system GPU from the matlab application so that it does not recognise it and runs the programs only using the cpu. Could you tell me if it is possible to do it and how to do it? I would like to do it from the application itself, as disabling the gpu from the system is more laborious and I just want matlab to not recognise it.
Thank you.

As soon as you start MATLAB type
setenv CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES -1
MATLAB will no longer recognise any GPU for computation.

Interesting!
I take it that variable is only tested the first time that gpu would be relevant, and that there is no way to force the test to be reset?

This is a variable recognised by the CUDA driver and only checked when the driver is initialized, which happens the first time you use or query the GPU. So correct, there is no way to reset this without restarting MATLAB. Alternatively, use a process pool which can be stopped and restarted at will.

the command:
gpuDevice([]);
should do the trick.
Mind that it requires that the Parallel Computing Toolbox is installed.

If you have code along the lines of
if gpu is detected
run deep learning on gpu
else
run deep learning on cpu
end
and you want to calculate the timings both ways without changing the detection test... then selecting the empty gpu is probably not going to be enough. But it would depend on how the gpu detection is coded.

Matlab will use the CPU by default unless you have in some way told it to use the GPU for a specific computation.
An exception might be the trainNetwork and predict commands, if you are doing DNN training or inference. Those commands have an option, however, called ExecutionEnvironment that you can use to specify CPU-only computation.

@Joss Knight
dlnetwork's execution environment is determined by the attributes of its input data and parameters.
If so, what is the acceleration property for?

That's a separate thing, although the kinds of accelerations we can do are affected by the environment.
