MATLAB runtime Windows multiple MCRs
显示 更早的评论
"MATLAB runtime run in parallel if it's loaded on separate processes" How do you run multiple MCRs and make them use a separate process in windows......Please don't tell me to read the manual...Looking for precise instructions....Thanks
[Merged information from Duplicate Question]
When I run two executables concurrently they take double amount of time to run. The MCR is single threaded so running the compiled exe in another shell (command prompt call with &) doesn't help. This is running on a very fast 6 core i7 machine with 64 GB of ram. Is this a problem with JVM contention ?
How do I make two executable programs in Matlab run faster in Windows Server ?
Is this a limitation when you multiple compiled executables?
I'm hoping someone at Mathworks can answer this very simple question.

When you run executables in different shells, they get different instances of MCR, even if it is the same MCR version. Each of the executables would have its own single-threaded MCR: it would not be the case that they would share one MCR instance between them.
Running multiple MCR versions would not help in this matter.
The discussion you are alluding to about running in different processes, had to do with using a single executable to run multiple threads: in that case, the MCR usage is shared. The situation does not apply when you start multiple executables.
When you start the executables, you might want to arrange for them to each have a single thread. See http://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/maxnumcompthreads.html. Also, if you are using Parallel Computing Toolbox then you can define a scheduler that restricts the number of cores, so that you do not have all of the executables all trying to use all the cores at the same time.

I do not know about the best way, but Yes, you need to avoid having all processes content for all cores.
Note for this that even if you do not use the Parallel Computing Toolbox, that over the years automatic parallelization (especially of mathematics functions) has gotten better, especially when large array sizes are involved. For example, sum() of a large array might get handled off to parallel routines, and that would happen even without the Parallel Computing Toolbox. But unless you are using PCT and a scheduler, the executables do not have any idea that they might be stepping on each other's toes by trying to use resources that another executable is already using. Restricting the number of threads should help in these situations.

Invoke the executable from different command shells, or invoke the executable from the command shell but use & at the end of the command to run the executable in the background.
The opposite of this would be having a driver program (e.g., Visual C++) that invoked the engine from multiple threads in the same executable.
