How to use parallel 'for' loop in Octave or Scilab?

Question

I have two for loops running in my Matlab code. The inner loop is parallelized using Matlabpool in 12 processors (which is maximum Matlab allows in a single machine).

Answer 1

In GNU Octave you can use the parfor construct:

parfor i=1:10
    # do stuff that may run in parallel
endparfor
