Introduction to the MATLAB Parallel Computing Toolbox

3:00 pm -- 6:00 pm, September 29, 2009

SCV has recently acquired the MATLAB Parallel Computing Toolbox. This toolbox enables users to solve computationally-intensive and data-intensive problems on multicored personal computers, laptops, or the Katana Linux Cluster. Parallel processing operations such as parallel for-loops, parallel numerical algorithms, and message-passing functions let you implement task- and data-parallel algorithms in MATLAB. Converting serial MATLAB applications to parallel MATLAB applications require few code modifications and no programming in a low-level language. To introduce MATLAB users to this toolbox, a three-hour workshop will be held at Boston University on September 29, 2009 from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. There is no fee for the workshop and it is open to all Boston University students, faculty and staff.

Advance registration is required and is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please visit the links below for the registration form and additional information.

Attendees are expected to possess at least basic knowledge of MATLAB operations. However, no prior parallel computing background is necessary.

The workshop registration is closed. Thank you for your interests.
