remove

Run a simulation on workers and retrieve the data storage of the job on a client. The data storage is a ValueStore object with key-value entries. Remove entries from this object as specified by their corresponding keys.

The following simulation finds the inverse of random matrices and stores the results in the ValueStore object.

type workerInvCode

function workerInvCode(models)
% Get the ValueStore of the current job
store = getCurrentValueStore;
for i = 1:numel(models)
    % Store simulation results in the ValueStore object
    pause(1);
    key = strcat("result_",num2str(i));
    store(key) = inv(rand(models(i)));
end
end

Run a batch job on workers using the default cluster profile.

models = [4,8,32,20];
c = parcluster;
job = batch(c,@workerInvCode,0,{models});
wait(job);

Retrieve the ValueStore object on the client. Show the keys of the object.

store = job.ValueStore;
keys(store)

ans = 4×1 string
    "result_1"
    "result_2"
    "result_3"
    "result_4"

Remove multiple entries as specified by the keys "result_1" and "result_4" from the object.

remove(store,["result_1","result_4"]);

You can also remove an entry using the syntax store(key) = []. Remove the entry as specified by the key "result_3" from the object.

store("result_3") = [];

Show the keys of the updated object.

keys(store)

ans = 
"result_2"

Run a simulation on a parallel pool of process workers and retrieve the file storage on a client. The file storage is a FileStore object with key-file entries. Remove entries from this object as specified by its corresponding keys.

The following simulation finds the average and standard deviation of random matrices and stores the results in the FileStore object.

type workerStatsCode

function workerStatsCode(models)
% Get the FileStore of the current job
store = getCurrentFileStore;
for i = 1:numel(models)
    % Compute the average and standard deviation of random matrices
    A = rand(models(i));
    M = mean(A);
    S = std(A);
    % Save simulation results in temporary files
    sourceTempFile = strcat(tempname("C:\myTempFolder"),".mat");
    save(sourceTempFile,"M","S");
    % Copy files to FileStore object as key-file pairs
    key = strcat("result_",num2str(i));
    copyFileToStore(store,sourceTempFile,key);
end
end

Start a parallel pool of process workers.

pool = parpool('Processes');

Starting parallel pool (parpool) using the 'Processes' profile ...
Connected to the parallel pool (number of workers: 6).

Get the FileStore for this pool.

store = pool.FileStore;

Run the simulation on the pool.

models = [4,8,32,20];
future = parfeval(@workerStatsCode,0,models);
wait(future);

Show the keys of the FileStore object.

keys(store)

ans = 4×1 string
    "result_1"
    "result_2"
    "result_3"
    "result_4"

Remove the key-file entries as specified by the keys "result_1" and "result_2" from the object. Show the keys of the updated object.

remove(store,["result_1","result_2"]);
keys(store)

ans = 2×1 string
    "result_3"
    "result_4"
