How to enable two threads to tackle with different tasks? E.G. control hardware acquisition and data processing synchronously

i have learned about the paralell computing toolbox, and some functions like parfor or parfeval. However, in the demo, it seems that they both accelerate the processing only when the tasks are similar, i.e. codes in the for-loop.

How to make MATLAB working in two threads to tackle with different tasks.For expamle, one thread controls the hardware for data acquisition and the other one processes the data synchronously?

parfeval can run different tasks. For example:

pool = parpool(2);
daq  = pool.parfeval(@acquireData, ..);
proc = pool.parfeval(@processData, ..);
