==== MATLAB ====

MATLAB programs can be submitted in a serial or parallel way in the sense you can use instructions like [[https://www.mathworks.com/help/parallel-computing/parfor.html|parfor]] or [[https://www.mathworks.com/help/parallel-computing/parallel.pool.parfeval.html|parfeval]] to obtain parallel code execution. 
Depending on the kind of interactivity you wish to have, you should choose what is best parallel paradigm that suits your needs.

In the table below we describe the characteristics of the different approaches and provide the links.
