Hi, I am calculating powers of large matrix. For example, taking a matrix of size 2000*2000 to the power of 6. I know that MATLAB  is known for its performance in matrix operations. But in this case, it is still quite slow. 

I have the parallel toolbox, I'm wondering is there any parallel version of matrix multiplication available? If so, could anyone give me a short example of how to use it?

Thanks so much!
Cindy
