Parallel computing can help you to solve big computing problems in different ways. MATLAB®and Parallel Computing Toolbox™ provide an interactive programming environment to help tackle your computing tasks. If your code runs too slowly, you can profile it, vectorize it, and use built-in MATLAB parallel computing support. Then you can try to accelerate your code by usingparfor
on multiple MATLAB workers in a parallel pool. If you have big data, you can scale up using distributed arrays or数据存储
. You can also execute a task without waiting for it to complete, usingparfeval
, so that you can carry on with other tasks. You can use different types of hardware to solve your parallel computing problems, including desktop computers, GPUs, clusters, and clouds.
