MIDACO Parallelization in Julia (Multi-Threading)

 

Running MIDACO in serial and parallel on a cpu-time expensive objective function.

 

 

 [ beta version ]

 

example_parallel.jl

 

 

 

Serial Mode (P=1) Parallel Mode (P=2)
Total Time: 13 Seconds Total Time: 6 Seconds
 Original: x1 Speed Up:  x2

 

 The results can be reproduced with the limited MIDACO version (available here). 

 

To enable multi-threading in Julia, the following command:

 export JULIA_NUM_THREADS=2   ( Mac & Linux shell )

 set JULIA_NUM_THREADS=2   ( Windows shell )

must be executed before starting Julia (see above screenshot).

The parallelization example will automatically detect how many threads

are available and set its parallelization factor P accordingly.
