Many commands, e.g. sum is multi-threaded internally already: beyond a specific data size, the work is distributed to multiple threads, which are processed in parallel.
You can control the multi-threading in C-Mex functions directly. And in Matlab the Parallel Computing Toolbox offers e.g. the parfor loop to distribute the code to several workers. See https://www.mathworks.com/products/parallel-computing.html.
Note that the Parallel Computing Toolbox can distribute the work load not only to the cores of one CPU, but to multiple CPUs also, this means to different computers. See e.g. https://de.mathworks.com/help/distcomp/spmd.html. Multi-threading and parallel computing are different stories.

@Fatma Yörük: I did not understand, what Oindri is asking for. "Implement mutlithreading to an algorithm of mine" cannot be answered. That a C++ function is called does not reveal any detail also. I do not know, what "underlying Java MT" means.
Now you think you have the same question? Then please open a new thread and explain any details of your problem. Otherwise an answer is impossible.

Hi Sairah,
The problem is similar to mine, in which data is received parallelly from two sensors.
Di you achieved the solution for your problem of multithreading, Please can you tell me.

Parallel Computing Toolbox is a way to go. If you don't have it then you would have to built state machine which will execute sequentially. I did that way though it was not parallel. Let me know what kind of parallel programming you are looking for.
