Third-Party Prerequisites

Required

This example generates CUDA MEX and has the following third-party requirements.

Optional

For non-MEX builds such as static, dynamic libraries or executables, this example has the following additional requirements.

Verify GPU Environment

To verify that the compilers and libraries necessary for running this example are set up correctly, use the coder.checkGpuInstall function.

envCfg = coder.gpuEnvConfig('host');
envCfg.BasicCodegen = 1;
envCfg.Quiet = 1;
coder.checkGpuInstall(envCfg);

Lane Detection using houghlines Simulink Model

The Simulink model for lane detection is shown.

open_system('lane_detection');

The Lane Detection subsystem contains a MATLAB Function block that takes an intensity image as input and provides detected lanes as output. This function is based on the lane detection algorithm implementation using houghlines as described in Lane Detection on the GPU by Using the houghlines Function example. When the model runs, the Visualization block displays the lane detected output image.

Run the Simulation

Open Configuration Parameters dialog box.

In Simulation Target pane, select GPU acceleration.

Run the simulation in Normal mode.

set_param('lane_detection', 'SimulationMode', 'Normal');
sim('lane_detection');

Generate and Build the Simulink Model

In Code Generation pane, select the Language as C++ and enable Generate GPU code.

Open Simulation Target pane. In the Advanced parameters, enable Dynamic memory allocation threshold in MATLAB functions. For more information, see Dynamic memory allocation in MATLAB functions (Simulink)

Open Code Generation > GPU Code pane. In the subcategory Libraries, enable cuBLAS, cuSOLVER and cuFFT.

Generate and build the Simulink model on the host GPU by using the slbuild command. The code generator places the files in a build folder, a subfolder named lane_detection_ert_rtw under your current working folder.

status = evalc("slbuild('lane_detection')");

Cleanup

Close the Simulink model.

close_system('lane_detection');
