How to run two programs simultaneously on Matlab?


I have one license of Matlab on my computer. I want to be able to run two programs simultaneously in Matlab in order to save my time, but I am not aware of how can I do that. I would like to know how it can be done. Thanks.


Solution

  • You cannot run two programs at the same time in a single MATLAB session. Even if you could, there would be no time savings, because MATLAB does not become idle while running one program.

    If you have a multi-core machine and the Parallel Computing Toolbox, you should be able to use additional cores to run other programs in parallel workers.
