Question: CUDA for M1 MacBook Pro

Hi, i would like to ask is there a way to install CUDA for my M1 MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020) version 12 ?   I'm working on aproject on deep learning using Matlab, i've downloaded the MatConvNet library, and i have Xcode version 13.4.1, but i couldn't install CUDA because it shown that it is no longer supports Mac! any suggestions about how to fix this sitiuation? i need it for my MSc project.

No, there is no way to install CUDA for any of the ARM-based Apple Systems -- not even through Rosetta 2 translation.
 
Last I heard, Mathworks had no plans to work on supporting GPU for ARM-based Apple systems: Apple is not supplying the computational libraries that would be necessary.
 
CUDA in particular is unlikely to ever be supported on ARM-based Apple Systems: NVIDIA has exited the Apple market, after years of disagreements with Apple.
 
Sorry, but you simply will not be able to use your M1 MacBook Pro for this purpose.
