Hi,
I am an undergrad student and I am working in a research that uses Octave. My job is to parallelize some algorithms. I saw some pacakges like parallel and OpeMPI_ext.
My questions are:
1- Did Octave has some type of shared-memort package? I am a C/C++ user and I want to use something quivalent to OpenMP in Octave.
For exmple, where I can use keyword like parfor (parallel for) omp_critical (mutual exclusion in a critical region) etc. Did octave has sometinh like this?
2- I dont underststand the parallel package, it is for sockets??
3- In the OpenMPI_ext package, the function reference has some examples. Where I can see the code of this examples? Did Octave have MPI function like MPI_Broadcast, MPI_Reduce etc.?
4- Where I can find more reference about parallel computing in Octave?
