warning messages when using parfor in appdesigner app

29 views (last 30 days)
I have been migrating an application which I previously built with GUIDE to appdesigner. One part of that application involves using the parallel toolbox for an expensive computation.
When running this portion of the application (which I call 'ASI') implemented wtih appdesigner, I see the following warning messages. There are 6 workers in my parallel pool, and it seems that each one of them is sending back the same message. These kind of warning messages do not appear when running the corresponding version of the application in GUIDE. The computation is completing successfully. It is just worrying that these warning messages are present.
Suggestions?

It looks like you're either implicitly or explicitly using ASI within your parfor loop. You don't show the problematic code, but at a guess you might be doing something like this:
parfor idx = ...
doStuff(ASI.something, ...);
end
If that is the problem, then the fix is straightforward - extract the fields you need from ASI ahead of the parfor loop.
thing = ASI.something;
parfor idx = ...
doStuff(thing, ...);
end

I must confess to being an absolute beginner with App Designer. Here's what I came up with:
By making func be Static, you don't need to pass in the "app" instance. Does that help?

Yes, this is most helpful and has helped resolve this issue. Thank you. I was not aware of using static methods in appdesigner.
