Using `gpuArray` in MATLAB allows you to leverage the parallel processing capabilities of your graphics card (GPU) for computations. GPUs typically have much larger memory capacities than your system's RAM, and `gpuArray` enables you to transfer your data to the GPU and perform operations there. This can significantly speed up computations and, by utilizing the GPU's dedicated memory, can also help alleviate 'out of memory' errors related to system RAM, provided the data fits within the GPU's memory.
