parallel processing fine balance
显示 更早的评论
I am running a fairly straightforward loop on a single machine, and want to take advantage of parallel processing (parfor on heaps).
Each iteration of the loop is supposed to take about the same time.
I am splitting between each worker equally, but I am unsure on how to treat the remainer, and am unsure whether this even makes a diffence.
Let's assume I have 3 workers and 19 iterations. I could do 7,7,5 or 7,6,6. Theoretically, they are both limited by the slower worker (on average either one with 7 iterations), so it wouldn't seem like it makes much of a difference.
Any insight on this would be helpful - namely which approach should I use.
thanks!

You're quite right that in this case, you're always inevitably going to be held up by the slowest worker. It's almost impossible to predict which of your two approaches would be faster - I'd suggest simply measuring the execution time for each case.
