Hi,

Compiling via mcc i get the following error at runtime (m2022a).

Is there a specific options or compile directive to ensure the paralell toolbox is included in the standalone application?

Unrecognized function or variable 'gcp'.
Error in MatlabThreads.Helper.StartThreadPool (line 28)
'gcp' may have been excluded from the MATLAB search path at compilation due to misuse of the path related mcc flags (-N, -p, -I).
Have the application owner verify that these flags were correctly used.
Contact the application owner for more details.

Thanks

I note parpool is also "not found" in the standalone compiled application

Notice that the documentation for gcp does not have any Extended Capabilities section. It might not be available in compiled executables.

Instead record the output of the call that creates the pool and use that variable.

Thanks Walter,

I'm trying to avoid using a persistent variable, or global variable, to allow many different components access to the same pool without passing around the parpool object.

If this is correct, then i ahve no other way of implementing a general pool for all modules without use of one of the methods above. Just a bit annoying given that Matlab actually suggests using gcp interactively

>> x = parpool('local')
Starting parallel pool (parpool) using the 'local' profile ...
Connected to the parallel pool (number of workers: 6).
x = 
 ProcessPool with properties: 
            Connected: true
           NumWorkers: 6
                 Busy: false
              Cluster: local
        AttachedFiles: {}
    AutoAddClientPath: true
            FileStore: [1x1 parallel.FileStore]
           ValueStore: [1x1 parallel.ValueStore]
          IdleTimeout: 30 minutes (30 minutes remaining)
          SpmdEnabled: true
>> 
>> x = parpool('local')
Error using parpool
Found an interactive session. You cannot have multiple interactive sessions open simultaneously. To terminate the existing session, use delete(gcp('nocreate')).
 

Thanks, Lyle

1/ Code is backend server so no figures but nice idea.

2/ I avoid handle classes ( and "try catch" ) at all costs because of exactly this reason, it leads to poor code.

Parpool is a handle class but if you loose the ptr you loose the object, yet the object "lives on" and throws errors if you try construct a new object.

Without gcp, there is no way to get the old pointer back to my knowledge.

I've implemented a persistent variable

    function myPool = StartThreadPool( method , pooltimeout)
        % myPool = StartThreadPool( method , pooltimeout )
        % Start a pool or use the existing one
        persistent pool_cache
        if nargin < 1 || isempty( method )
            method = 'localpool';
        end
        if nargin < 2 || isempty( pooltimeout )
            pooltimeout = 120;
        end
        %% Use Cache if we can
        if ~isempty( pool_cache ) && pool_cache.myPool.Connected
            
            if strcmp( pool_cache.method, method)
            
                myPool = pool_cache.myPool;
            
                return
            else
            
                pool_cache.myPool.delete;
                
            end
        end
        
        pool_cache = [];
        
        %% New Pool Required        
        switch(method)
            case 'threads'
                myPool = parpool('threads');
            case 'localpool'
                myPool = parpool('local', 'IdleTimeout', pooltimeout );
            otherwise
                logInLiger( sprintf( '%-25s :: Unrecognized method = %s',mfuncname, method) );
        end        
        % Cache For Later
        pool_cache.method = method ;
        pool_cache.myPool = myPool ;
    end
