Parallel Computing in MATLAB

 Parallel Computing in MATLAB

MATLAB provides tools for parallel computing, including parallel for-loops and parallel computing toolbox. Here's an example of how to use parallel computing toolbox to perform Monte Carlo simulation:

pctconfig('local');  % configure the local parallel pool

N = 1e7;  % set the number of simulations

spmd

    count = 0;

    for i = 1:N/numlabs

        x = rand;

        y = rand;

        if x^2 + y^2 <= 1

            count = count + 1;

        end

    end

    pi_estimate = 4*count/(N/numlabs);

end

pi = gplus(pi_estimate);  % combine the results from all the workers

disp(['Estimated Value of Pi: ' num2str(pi)]);
