Thread Subject: functions to solve in parallel

Hi
I would like to solve two function in parallel mode:

result = CNSopt (x)
where x can be 2 or 3

and more ore less on a Intel T9300 each case runs for 2000s

can I run the 2 functions on lab1 the x=2 and on lab2 the x=3, using PMODE?

please help me :)

Yes, at the P>> prompt, you'd need to type

if labindex == 1, x = 2, else, x = 3, end
result = CNSopt( x );

In R2008b and later, instead of using PMODE, I'd recommend using MATLABPOOL and
SPMD, where you'd do something more like this:

matlabpool open local 2
spmd
  if labindex == 1
    x = 2;
  else
    x = 3;
  end
  result = CNSopt( x );
end

result{1} % the result from labindex==1
result{2} % the result from labindex==2
