run simulations in parallel in matlab

To run simulations in parallel in Matlab, you can use parallel computing tools such as the "parfor" and "spmd" functions.

The "parfor" function allows you to run a loop in parallel by distributing the loop iterations across multiple workers. Here is an example:

main.m
parpool() % initialize parallel pool
parfor i = 1:num_simulations
    % code for simulation i
end
delete(gcp) % close parallel pool
132 chars
6 lines

The "spmd" function allows you to run code on multiple workers in a parallel mode. Here is an example:

main.m
spmd
    % code for simulations on each worker
end
51 chars
4 lines

Within the "spmd" block, each worker operates independently and computes its own results. You can use "labindex" to refer to the index of the worker running the code.

Both "parfor" and "spmd" require the Parallel Computing Toolbox in Matlab.
