Accelerating and Parallelizing MATLAB Code

This two-day course covers a variety of techniques for making your MATLAB^® code run faster. You will identify and remove computational bottle-necks using techniques like preallocation and vectorization. In addition, you will compile MATLAB code into MEX-files using MATLAB Coder^™. On top of that, you will take advantage of multiple cores on your computer by parallelizing for-loops with Parallel Computing Toolbox^™, and scale up across multiple computers using MATLAB Parallel Server^™. Interplay between those concepts will be explored throughout the course. If you are working with long-running simulations, you will benefit from the hands-on demonstrations and exercises in the course. Topics include:

Improving performance within core MATLAB
Generating MEX-files
Parallelizing computations
Offloading execution
Working with clusters
GPU computing

Prerequisites

MATLAB Fundamentals, or equivalent experience using MATLAB

Day 1 of 2
Improving Performance	Objective: Analyze code performance and utilize techniques for acceleration within MATLAB. Identifying bottle necks Preallocating arrays Vectorizing operations in various ways Rewriting algorithms
Generating MEX-Files	Objective: Generate compiled code files from MATLAB code for better performance. MATLAB Coder overview and workflow Generating and verifying MEX-files Calling unsupported functions Adjusting settings for MEX-file generation
Parallelizing Computations	Objective: Parallelize code execution to take advantage of multiple cores. Opening additional MATLAB processes Running parallel for-loops Measuring speedup Processing multiple files in parallel

Day 2 of 2
Parallel for-Loops	Objective: Explore parallel for-loops in more detail and apply techniques for converting for-loops to parfor-loops. Requirements of parallel for-loops Parallelizing for-loops Retrieving intermediate results
Offloading Execution	Objective: Offload computations to another MATLAB process in order to be able to use MATLAB for other tasks in the meantime. This is also a preparation step for working with clusters. Processing in batch Creating batch jobs Retrieving results Using the Job Monitor
Working with Clusters	Objective: Accelerate computations and realize more extensive simulations by utilizing multiple computers. Local and remote clusters Dynamic licensing Cluster discovery and connection File access considerations
