Matlab spmd Collecting Composite Arrays

Hi everyone,

I have been working on Matlab spmd with OOP, but I have received this error;

"Dot invocation is not allowed for Composites, use the functional form instead."

my codes;

spmd

.....

......

.....

end

A0 = hx.Tis_pr(:);

hx.Tis = [];

for i = 1:hx.Converge.CoreNumber

hx.Tis = [hx.Tis,A0(i)];

end

I will be glad if you can help....

best regard....

You missed a crucial clue from your question - where are you assigning hx. I'm going to guess you have something like this:

spmd
    hx = doSomething(); % assign hx
end

Outside the spmd block, hx is a Composite . What that means is that the contents of hx are left remaining on the workers, and only brought back to the client when you request them. You can get the value from worker 1 like this:

worker1_hx = hx{1};
% Now you can work with local data worker1_hx:
worker1_A0 = worker1_hx.Tis_pr(:);

You can get all the different hx values from each worker as a cell array by doing this:

all_hx = hx(:);
for idx = 1:numel(all_hx)
    worker_hx = all_hx{idx};
    worker_hx.Tis; % Access fields of one element
end

static method can be used. Structural parameter including spmd blocks is very dangerous.....
