Use Accelerator Mode During Simulations
About Accelerating Optimization
Simulink®
Design Optimization™ software supports Normal and Accelerator
simulation modes. You can accelerate the design optimization computations by changing the
simulation mode of your Simulink model to Accelerator. For information about these modes,
see How Acceleration Modes Work.
The default simulation mode is Normal. In
this mode, Simulink uses interpreted code, rather than compiled
C code during simulations.
In the Accelerator mode, Simulink
Design Optimization software
runs simulations during optimization with compiled C code. Using compiled
C code speeds up the simulations and reduces the time to optimize
the model response signals.
Limitations
If the model structure changes during optimization, the model is compiled to
regenerate the C code for each iteration. In this case, using the
Accelerator mode increases the computation time. To learn
more about code regeneration, see Code Regeneration in Accelerated Models.
Setting Accelerator Mode
To set the simulation mode to Accelerator, open the Simulink model window and perform one of the following actions:
Under Simulation, choose
Acceleratorfrom the drop-down list as shown in the next figure.
Tip
To obtain the maximum performance from the
Acceleratormode, close all Scope blocks in your model.
