Recording CPU time for GA algorithm in Matlab using optimization toolbox

Question

I am using global optimization toolbox to run genetic algorithm on Matlab. However, I do not see any documentation or function to record the CPU time.

Answer 1

You can use the function cputime explained here . It returns time in seconds. Although, tic and toc are a better choice for measuring performance in Matlab codes.

A sample code :

startTime = cputime;
% GA Code
endTime = cputime;
cpu_time_consumed = endTime - startTime;

Answer 2

我意识到，这也可以使用Matlab中提供的“运行和时间”选项来完成。
