Cannot terminate matlab processes after running LIBSVM for a longer time.

Hi all, I am running LIBSVM for a longer time (which involves some MEX files). After running the script, I can see that there are still some processes running in the background. I tried Ctrl+C yet the processes are still ongoing. Does anyone have an idea on the way to terminate it?

See https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/221744-killing-a-mex-function-when-it-doesn-t-respond-to-ctrl-c-or-ctrl-break-under-win64#answer_284554

As source code for libsvm is available, in theory it could be modified to permit interruptions with control-C. However, that work has not been done yet, so with all present versions of libsvm, the answer becomes "You can't do that."
