Using the Multicore Analysis and Sparse Matrix Toolkit (Multicore Analysis and Sparse Matrix Toolkit)

The LabVIEW Multicore Analysis and Sparse Matrix Toolkit provides a collection of VIs that perform high throughput signal processing and matrix computation in computationally intensive applications by leveraging multicore systems.

Differences Between the Multicore Analysis and Sparse Matrix VIs and the Signal Processing and Mathematics VIs

The Multicore Analysis and Sparse Matrix VIs are different from the analysis VIs and functions on the Signal Processing palette and Mathematics palette in the following ways:

• (Windows) Threading control—The Multicore Analysis and Sparse Matrix VIs support single-threading and multithreading. The Signal Processing VIs and Mathematics VIs support single-threading only.
• Single-precision data type support—The Multicore Analysis and Sparse Matrix VIs support single- and double-precision floating-point numbers. The Signal Processing VIs and Mathematics VIs support double-precision floating-point numbers only.

These differences can affect VI performance and computation.
