Try using parfeval, such as the following pseudo code
function start_Callback(hObject, eventdata, handles)
pool = gcp('nocreate');
if isempty(pool)
% Explictily start a 2-worker pool
pool = parpool('local',2);
end
f1 = pool.parfeval(@while1,...);
f2 = pool.parfeval(@while2,...);
A couple of notes
- You might want to start a pool elsewhere or with a different size.
- You'll need to refactor your while-loops as "units of work". That is, write them as subfunctions that can be called on their own. Look at the parfeval doc for additional arguments required (input/output, etc.).
- After spawning the code, you might need to cancel the tasks.
