How to speed up simulation containing multiple for Loops?

2 次查看(过去 30 天)
I have a script :
for (DBuck_On = 0.99:-0.09:0.01)
for (Mode_Control=0:1:3)
for(DT_Comp_Mode=0:1:3)
for(Fs=50e3:50e3:200e3)
for(DT_On = -500e-9:50e-9:500e-9)
for(DT_Off =-500e-9:50e-9:500e-9)
for (T_On_Min = 50e-9 : 50e-9 : 250e-9)
for (T_Off_Min = 50e-9 : 50e-9 : 250e-9)
for (Aux_Control = 0:1)
for (T_Aux_On_Min = [50e-9 60e-9] )
for (T_Aux_Off_Min = [50e-9 60e-9] )
for( DT_Aux_On =[50e-9 100e-9 200e-9])
for ( DT_Aux_Off =[50e-9 100e-9 200e-9])
Ts=1/Fs;
DBuck_Off = 1-DBuck_On;
if (Mode_Control==1)
DBuck_Off=0.5-DBuck_On/2;
end
D1=DBuck_On;
D2=DBuck_Off;
D3=1-DBuck_On-DBuck_Off;
sim('DPWMIgalSimulation_Comparison_RoiVersion_Vs_MyVersion');
MyRawData = csvread(strcat(pwd,'\MyTempTestVector.csv'));
RoiRawData = csvread(strcat(pwd,'\RoiTempTestVector.csv'));
if (~isequal(MyRawData,RoiRawData))
if(Flag)
MyData=MyRawData;
RoiData=RoiRawData;
Flag=false;
continue;
end
MyData=[MyData;MyRawData]
RoiData=[RoiData;RoiRawData]
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
I the simulation recieves the input(DbuckOn, Mode,DT...) and output single vector , into MyRawData/RoiRawData then i accumulate vectors that are not the same in two Databases :MyData and RoiData. This Data i will save in CSV. Is there a way to use all processors cores in order to execute the for loops faster? I tried parfor but it seems not to work(I use Matlab2016 trial). Any other suggestions for speed optimizations? Thank you

Hi,
you should be able to use parfor for such problems, see e.g. this example.
In addition, I would suggest to replace your many loops by ndgrid, something like
[DBuck_OnVec, Mode_ControlVec, DT_Comp_ModeVec] = ndgrid(0.99:-0.09:0.01, 0:3, 0:3);
parfor cnt = 1:numel(DBuck_On)
DBuck_On = DBuck_OnVec(cnt);
...
sim(...)
end

Hi,
that's right. The different workers would need to synchronize, what the current value of Ind is and therefore loop iterations would not be independent.
You could do the following
MyData = cell(1, length(DBuck_On));
RoiData = cell(1, length(DBuck_On));
parfor k=1:length(DBuck_On)
MyData{k} = {};
RoiData{k} = {};
...
if ~isequal(...)
MyData{k}{end+1} = MyRawData;
RoiData{k}{end+1} = RoiRawData;
end
end
This way you would end up with cell arrays of cell arrays, which you could combine again into one:
MyData = [MyData{:}];

Hey Titus, thanks again. I changed the code , and now im doing ndgrid in order to save all data in matrix and use only one loop :
clear all;
Dir=pwd;
% Simulation Run
SimTime = 0; % Ts full simulation
N = 1e5;
SampleTime = SimTime/N;
MyFileName=strcat(pwd,'\MyTestVec');
RoiFileName=strcat(pwd,'\RoiTestVec');

I used your proposal to change MyData/RoiData , and the parfor start to work and then output the following : * " Starting parallel pool (parpool) using the 'local' profile ... connected to 4 workers. Loaded PLECS module Version 3.7.5 Warning: dialog is no longer supported when MATLAB is started with the -nodisplay or -noFigureWindows option or there is no display.

but simtime is indeed defined (Its the simulation time in the slx file).
at the beginning he had an other error : * "Starting parallel pool (parpool) using the 'local' profile ... connected to 4 workers. File 'M:\Users\Omer_o\Matlab05_forOmer\DPWMIgalSimulation_Comparison_RoiVersion_Vs_MyVersion.slx' does not contain a valid Simulink model in SLX format: Could not open source package"*
short overview : The simulation has plecs blocks with 13 Block Parameters (DbuckOn, DTCom..) inside . Then when i define the parameters in workspace i can run the simulation. May the errors cause due to problems running the same simulation with different parameters in multithreaded way ? Any suggestions ?
** After a friend suggestion he said that the better if i pass all input parameters in the sim function itself so the workers could work in parallel mode , but every time i try to pass a input paramter with sim it has the error : _ *"Trial>> sim('DPWMIgalSimulation_Comparison_RoiVersion_Vs_MyVersion','Ts',1e-5) block_diagram does not have a parameter named 'Ts'
Trial>> get_param('DPWMIgalSimulation_Comparison_RoiVersion_Vs_MyVersion','Ts') block_diagram does not have a parameter named 'Ts'"*_
Maybe this could solve the problem , but i can figure why it doesnt recognize my block parameters.
Thanks a lot. Omer

Hi Omer,
usually it's best to put the call to sim into a function. Pass the variables to the function as they are needed, something like
function y = simulate(k, Ts, Mode_Control, DT_Comp_Mode)
sim('DPWMIgalSimulation_Comparison_RoiVersion_Vs_MyVersion', 'SrcWorkspace', 'current');
end
Why k? You should make sure, that the filename includes the "k", otherwise parallel simulations would write into the same .csv file.
Read the csv files afterwards (i.e., after the call to "simulate") and delete them in order to not have hundreds of files.

Hi Omer,
two comments: I guess the warning at the beginning is what you might have missed. Closing the parpool and opening it again might already help.
Second, why are you assigning the variables to base workspace? The parameter 'SrcWorkspace', 'Current' tells Simulink to use the variables from the current workspace anyway. No need to assign them all to base (only you need to be consistent in naming).

Hey Titus 1. I didnt understand this warning and its cause . what is the soultion to this warning? 2. Because it didnt work, see my previouse comment. when i assign the parameters as normal (Ts=XTs(k),...) it doesnt know them and produce a warning underline
