Parallel Computing with Scilab or Octave : <p>I have a large set of data to process [40000x50] values.
I use Matlab on my laptop but it takes a very long time. 
Recently I had an access to an HPC station with theoretically I can process parallel computing. So how can I do that? I think I can't use Matlab without a proper toolbox for "Cloud computing" so I tried Scilab and octave but things were very complicated to me.
My main objectives are: 
- Processing the data and Optimizing a model.
so my questions are:
- Do I have to work on Linux to perform parallel computing? (I use windows)
- How to perform parallel computing using a free software like Scilab or Octave ( I am a little bit familiar with Scilab).
Best regards.</p>
