Parallel Computing in Simulink

Accelerate Simulink^® simulations with parallel computing

For workflows that involve multiple parallel simulations and logging of large amounts of data, you can use parallel computing to accelerate Simulink simulations. This approach is useful in scenarios like model testing, experiment design, Monte Carlo analysis, and model optimization.

Tools

Parallel Simulations Using Parsim: Parameter Sweep in Normal Mode

Run multiple simulations of a Monte Carlo study in parallel by using Parallel Computing Toolbox™. Parallel execution leverages the multiple cores of your host machine to run many simulations more quickly. These simulations could also be run in parallel on computer clusters using the MATLAB® Parallel Server™. This example will work even if the Parallel Computing Toolbox™ or the MATLAB Parallel Server is not available, but the simulations will run in serial.
