Hello All,
I am wondering about the implementation behind the parallel computing toolbox. Is it using MPI (e.g. MPICH2, OpenMPI), Multiple Thread library(e.g. OpenMP, pthread), or a library developed by Mathworks for a multi-core PC? Thanks for clarifying this for me,
Hailiang

You can learn quite a bit from this journal paper (free download on Springer website):
MATLAB: A language for parallel computing

Thanks Gaurav,
This is a very comprehensive paper, discussing the framework of parallel computing, and the choices turning PCT the way it is.
On further going through the matlab document, I am confused by the difference between pmode and matlabpool. In pmode, I like the interactively display of the outputs of each lab, which facilitates the debugging greatly; however, I did not find a way for collective communication, such as functions as MPI_Scatter(), and MPI_Gather() (Is it corresponding to gcat function?). How can I scatter a big array in lab 1 to other labs?
Seems parfor and spmd are designed specifically for matlabpool. Is that correct? What is the difference between collective communication and distributed arrays?

http://www.mathworks.com/products/parallel-computing/parallel/distarrays.html might help with your first question (and maybe your last).
yes, parfor and spmd work with a matlabpool.
