Selectively pause function execution?

Hi - I am doing a long optimization using the generic algorithm. To speed it up I am enabling parallel execution of the generic algorithm, so there will be multiple instances of the cost function executing in parallel. The cost function uses the pause function. Every time one instance of the cost function executes the pause function, will it pause only that specific instance or will pause all Matlab executions (I.e. All instances executing in parallel)?

Keep in mind that even if all instances will execute the same script, they will do with different data / parameters, so not all of them will reach the pause line in their code at unison. I want to make sure that the effect of the pause function is contained to the specific instance of the cost function only.

Anyone can shed some light? Thanks!

It will pause only that one process.
