codistributor2dbc.defaultLabGrid - Default computational grid for 2-D block-cyclic distributed arrays

Syntax

Description

grid = codistributor2dbc.defaultLabGrid() returns a vector, grid = [nrow ncol], defining a computational grid of nrow-by-ncol labs in the open MATLAB pool, such that numlabs = nrow x ncol.

The grid defined by codistributor2dbc.defaultLabGrid is as close to a square as possible. The following rules define nrow and ncol:

• If numlabs is a perfect square, nrow = ncol = sqrt(numlabs).

• If numlabs is an odd power of 2, then nrow = ncol/2 = sqrt(numlabs/2).

• nrow <= ncol.

• If numlabs is a prime, nrow = 1, ncol = numlabs.

• nrow is the greatest integer less than or equal to sqrt(numlabs) for which ncol = numlabs/nrow is also an integer.
