Hmm, that's very strange. Do you still get the warning if you simply do
x = <something>;
y = <something>;
z = function(x,y);
How about if you do
matlabpool open 1
spmd
x = <something>;
y = <something>;
z = function(x,y);
end
matlabpool close
spmd
x = <something>;
y = <something>;
z = function(x,y);
end
One other thing that has an outside chance of making a difference is
that matlabpool workers are run in single computational thread mode,
which means some algorithms will work slightly differently. You could
try launching your desktop matlab with the "-singleCompThread" switch to
see if that makes any difference.
Cheers,
Edric.
