You can download it at the Mathworks ftp site: ftp://ftp.mathworks.com/pub/contrib/v5/tools/PMI/ This is a toolbox to manage parallel Matlab processes from a master Matlab session. The various routines can start and stop different slave processes, share information between the master and slave processes, as well as remotely execute scripts and functions on the slave processes. The function names are patterned after MPI (Message Passing Interface) functions, although the calling syntax has been altered for the Matlab environment. The PMI functions are built upon low-level MEX files which first need to be compiled. Please edit the Makefile for your particular machine architecture before building. These MEX files call the Matlab Engine API in order to manage the remote Matlab sessions. If you have questions or comments about this toolbox, please feel free to email me about it. It would be nice to know how useful this software is to other people. -Dan -- Articles to bigrigg+parallel@cs.cmu.edu (Admin: bigrigg@cs.cmu.edu) Archive: http://www.hensa.ac.uk/parallel/internet/usenet/comp.parallel
