I have IxJxL single type data volume. I want to execute 1-D fft's of L length IxJ times.

Win7-64,GFX670,MatlabR2012a

data_device = gpuArray(data);

Nested 'for' loop on GPU works slower than on CPU.

for ii = 1:I
  for jj = 1:J
     data_device(ii,jj,:) = fft(data_device(ii,jj,:));
  end
end

'Parfor' works even slower than simple 'for' loop.

1 Is there a way to use spmd method on GPU alike its done on CPU? How?

2 What is the optimal size of data to be send to GPU, considering params gpuDevice() function retuns?

MATLAB's FFT function can operate along any single dimension. So you can simply do:

data_device = fft(data_device, [], 3);

rather than having a loop. See the FFT reference page for more.

Hi Greg, assuming you mean a GTX670, it actually has 1344 cores (7 processors, each with 192 cores). However, you cannot address a core individually. Infact you can't even address a processor individually. You need to send the GPU one big operation to perform and let it work out how to split it over the heirarchy of symmetric multi-processors and the cores they contain.

Our recommendation is always to send as much work (and data) in a single command as you can.
