I wrote a parallel version of tickle() function for Optickle.
The attached ptickle.m, which provides ptickle() command, can be used as a drop-in replacement of tickle() command.
Just download it and place it in the @Optickle directory.
This command will run multiple instances of Matlab to calculate the frequency responses in parallel.
The speed gain is roughly proportional to the number of CPU cores you use.
To use multiple cores, you have to run matlabpool() command first. See the comment at the beginning of ptickle.m for more detail.
The progress bar is disabled at this moment because it is not clear for me how to make a single progress bar from multiple instances of Matlab.
I sent the code to Matt, so this may be included in the next release of Optickle. |
