I'm running faster R-CNN in matlab 2018b on a Windows 10. I face an exception CUDA_ERROR_ILLEGAL_ADDRESS when I increase the number of my training items or when I increase the MaxEpoch.

Below are the information of my gpuDevice

First it prints the warning multiple time and throws the below exception

After talking to Matlab support, apparently my GPU is not the "right" GPU for deep learning and Neural Network.

However, I found that the issue was that Windows changed the GPU during the run, to fix this I went to INVIDIA Control Panel > Programs settings >
1. Select Mathworks Matlab
2. Preferred graphic processor choose your GPU card
