Multicore - Parallel processing on multiple cores

This package provides parallel processing on multiple cores/machines.

This package provides parallel processing on multiple cores on a single machine or on multiple machines that have access to a common directory.
If you have multiple function calls that are independent of each other, and you can reformulate your code as

for k = 1:numel(parameterCell)
resultCell{k} = myfun(parameterCell{k});
end

then, replacing the loop by

resultCell = startmulticoremaster(@myfun, parameterCell);

allows you to evaluate your loop in parallel. All you need to do is to start as many additional Matlab sessions/processes as you want slaves to work, and to run

startmulticoreslave

in those additional Matlab sessions.

Everything is programmed in plain and platform-independent Matlab - no toolboxes are used, no compilation of mex-files is necessary.

Please get started with 1. the documentation in file multicore.html, 2. the help lines of function startmulticoremaster.m and 3. the demo function multicoredemo.m.
