title: running code with threads in Octave
body: <p>I have several blocks of the following code that each use there own matrix. Is there a way to run each block in it's own thread rather then run all of them sequentially?</p>
  
  <pre>
  for i=1:length(DJI)
  DJI2(:,1) = reshape(datenum(strvcat(DJI(:,2)(:)), length(DJI(:,2)),'yyyy-mm-dd'));
  DJI2(:,2:6) = reshape(str2num(strvcat(DJI(:,3:7)(:)), length(DJI(:,3:7))));
  end
  </pre>
