gop - Global operation across all labs

Syntax

Arguments

F	Function to operate across labs.
x	Argument to function F, should be same variable on all labs, but can have different values.
res	Variable to hold reduction result.
targetlab	Lab to which reduction results are returned.

Description

res = gop(@F, x) is the reduction via the function F of the quantities x from each lab. The result is duplicated on all labs.

The function F(x,y) should accept two arguments of the same type and produce one result of that type, so it can be used iteratively, that is,

  F(F(x1,x2),F(x3,x4))

The function F should be associative, that is,

F(F(x1, x2), x3) = F(x1, F(x2, x3))

res = gop(@F, x, targetlab) performs the reduction, and places the result into res only on the lab indicated by targetlab. res is set to [] on all other labs.

Examples

Calculate the sum of all labs' value for x.

res = gop(@plus,x)

Find the maximum value of x among all the labs.

res = gop(@max,x) 

Perform the horizontal concatenation of x from all labs.

res = gop(@horzcat,x)

Calculate the 2-norm of x from all labs.

res = gop(@(a1,a2)norm([a1 a2]),x)
