efficient use of memory and faster processing, especially for large data sets. For more
information, see “Distributed Arrays and SPMD”.
parfor: Parallel for-Loops
Parallel for-loops let you run a for-loop across your labs simultaneously. For more
information, see Using a for-Loop Over a Distributed Range (for-drange) or the parfor
reference page.
Interactive Parallel Mode (pmode)
The interactive parallel mode (pmode) lets you work interactively with a parallel
job running simultaneously on a number of labs. Commands you type at the pmode
command line are executed on all labs at the same time. Each lab executes the
commands in its own workspace on its own local variables or segments of distributed
arrays. For more information, see Run Parallel Jobs Interactively Using pmode.
Moved MDCE Control Scripts
To provide greater consistency across all platforms, the MDCE control scripts for
Windows have moved and those for UNIX and Macintosh have new names.
Compatibility Considerations
Windows Utilities Moved
In previous versions of the distributed computing products, the MDCE utilities for
Windows computers were located in
matlabroot\toolbox\distcomp\bin\win32
The utilities are now located in
matlabroot\toolbox\distcomp\bin
The files that have moved are
nodestatus
