Not sure why the 1st task isn't finishing, but here's another approach. Keep what you have, but rather than using batch, use parfeval. Change
pc = parcluster();
for i = 1:r_zones
for j = 1:c_zones
Xa((rz(i):rz(i+1)-1),((cz(j):cz(j+1)-1))) = 1;
job(jm(i,j)) = batch(pc,@com_sigma,3,{inputs});
end
end
to
pc = parcluster();
pool = gcp('nocreate');
if isempty(pool)
pool = pc.parpool(maxNumCompThreads);
end
for i = 1:r_zones
for j = 1:c_zones
Xa((rz(i):rz(i+1)-1),((cz(j):cz(j+1)-1))) = 1;
job(jm(i,j)) = parfeval(pool,@svd,3,inputs);
end
end
You're start one job (a parallel pool) and then sending individual tasks to it (with parfeval) rather than creating r_zones * c_zones jobs (with batch).
