Error when using distributive property

3 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hello!
The function below compares the output of two functions which run the same calculation. However, in one function the calculation's multiplications are distributed. It should output a matrix of 1s. However, it doesn't!
What's up with that?
function errorTest()
compute(1:100) == distributed(1:100)
function out = compute(a)
out = 10.1 * (a - 1);
end
function out = distributed(a)
out = 10.1 * a - 10.1;
end
end
Thanks!

The propagation of floating approximations is different:
idx = abs(compute(1:100) - distributed(1:100)) > 2*eps
nnz(idx)
How many values over 2eps?

I guess I had that backwards. If you remove the 2*, a lot of the answers are still different.

Cannot really help you more than that, I don't have experience with distributed server.
