delete (Pool)

Shut down parallel pool

Syntax

delete(poolobj)

Description

delete(poolobj) shuts down the parallel pool associated with the object poolobj, and

destroys the communicating job that comprises the pool. Subsequent parallel language

features will automatically start a new parallel pool, unless your parallel preferences

disable this behavior.

References to the deleted pool object become invalid. Invalid objects should be removed

from the workspace with the clear command. If multiple references to an object exist in

the workspace, deleting one reference to that object invalidates the remaining references

to it. These remaining references should be cleared from the workspace with the clear

command.

Examples

Get the current pool and shut it down.

poolobj = gcp('nocreate');

delete(poolobj);
