MATLAB: Matlabpool RAM occupation

clearmatlabpoolParallel Computing Toolboxram

Hi all

When I use command "matlabpool open 8" in my Mfile, RAM of my system(4G total) occupied up to 70% and it remain in this state until I close MATLAB, whereas when I run my Mfile without this command, RAM occupied up to only 40%.

How can I free up RAM after using matlabpool command?

Does the RAM usage come back down when running matlabpool close? Remember that matlabpool open 8 is equiavelent to starting MATLAB 8 times on your machine. Each instance will use approximately as much RAM as if you were starting MATLAB manually.

HTH,

Arnaud

MATLAB: Is MATLAB memory utilized inefficiently when distributing an array to workers using Parallel Computing Toolbox 4.3 (R2010a)

When distributing data to workers, the client process is required to perform serialization of the data. This initially occupies a large amount of memory until the data distribution is complete.

In order to avoid this memory from being allocated on the client, use distributed arrays as follows:

A = distributed.ones(10000);

spmd
    A = codistributed.ones(10000);
end
