You can produce the same random numbers in a parfor loop if you explicitly set the random number generator type to be the same in the for and parfor loops.
You can do this when you set the seed or before the loop.
parfor i = 1:10
rng(seedForSimulation(1, i), 'twister');
Seeds(1, i) = seedForSimulation(1, i);
randomNrs(1, i) = randi(10);
end
This will return the exact same result if you replace parfor with for. You could also use:
spmd % run once on each parallel worker
rng(0, 'twister')
end
parfor i = 1:10
rng(seedForSimulation(1, i)); % no need to specify again
Seeds(1, i) = seedForSimulation(1, i);
randomNrs(1, i) = randi(10);
end
This will also return the same result as would the for loop.
