As I know about parallel programming in Matlab, We can exactly specify what worker does what; using :
if labindex == x
%some computations
end
Also we can run for loops in parallel; using :
parfor i1 = x:y
%some computations
end
I'm using a cluster with a few nodes and each node has 8 cores.
I want to run 2 functions which each one contains an parfor loop, and each function get executed by an worker, my code is something like this :
spmd
if labindex == 1
alpha = forward( some parameters );
end
if labindex == 2
beta = backward( some parameters );
end
end
I wanted these 2 functions get executed simultaneously by 2 different nodes. but Matlab throws back this error :
PARFOR or SPMD can not be used inside an SPMD block.
Why is that so? Any idea?
