Hello Stefano,
The main requirement of parfor is to allow Matlab to work with sections of the problem, in a vectorised fashion. Given a population of agents pop(i), we need to vectorise the output as output(i). This way we allow the parfor loop to work in parallel on each section of the problem.
A possible parfor application would be:
% initialize inputs and output
Output=zeros(16,1);
for i=1:16
pop(i).a = rand;
pop(i).b = rand;
pop(i).c = rand;
end
% implement parfor
parfor i=1:16
Output(i)=sumABC(pop(i).a,pop(i).b,pop(i).c)
end
Output
function sum = sumABC(A,B,C)
sum = A+B+C;
end
