Main Page

These wiki pages contain documentation for Jacket: The GPU Engine for MATLAB.

Jacket brings the speed and visual computing capability of GPUs to MATLAB programs. Jacket is not a new GPU API, nor is it a collection of GPU functions. Rather, it a full runtime system that introduces new GPU data types, such as GDOUBLE and GSINGLE, into MATLAB and provides transparent overloading of MATLAB's CPU-based functions with GPU-based functions. Jacket includes automated and optimized memory transfers and kernel configurations. Jacket uses a JIT (just-in-time) compilation system that allows GPU functions to run in MATLAB's interpretive style with full utilization of GPU resources, including utilization of multiple GPUs simultaneously.
