Hi,
As per the documentation, the workers do not propagate the changes back to the client. In the code you mentioned, you took care of this by:
obj(ii) = objSlice;
However, this change has to be propagated back to the client explicitly. This can be done by returning the changed objects from the function to the caller as:
function obj = process(obj)
and capturing this returned value in the caller function as:
exArray = exArray.process();
So, the code you provided works as expected with these modifications:
classdef Example < matlab.mixin.Copyable
properties
data = [];
end
methods
function obj = Example()
end
function obj = process(obj)
parfor ii = 1:numel(obj)
objSlice = obj(ii);
objSlice.process_sub()
obj(ii) = objSlice;
end
end
function process_sub(obj)
obj.data = datestr(now, 'HH:MM:SS.FFF');
end
end
end
When following objects are created and call the process function:
% Initialise array of objects
num = 5;
for nn = 1:num
exArray(nn) = Example();
end
% Process the object array in parallel
exArray = exArray.process();
exArray.data
It gives the following output:
>> exArray.data
ans =
11:04:54.894
ans =
11:04:54.894
ans =
11:04:54.894
ans =
11:04:54.898
ans =
11:04:54.899
Note: Before executing the enhanced version of this class, clear the class from the memory by:
>> clear classes
Hope this helps.
