A report on using parallel MATLAB for solutions to stochastic optimal control problems

Jeffrey Azzato and Jacek Krawczyk ()

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Parallel MATLAB is a recent MathWorks product enabling the use of parallel computing methods on multicore personal computers. SOCSol is the generic name of a suite of MATLAB routines that can be used to obtain optimal solutions to continuous-time stochastic optimal control problems. In this report, we compare the performance of a new version of SOCSol utilising parallel MATLAB with that of another version not using parallel computing methods.
