Is it possible to distribute an array of user defined objects in MATLAB 7.6 (R2008a)?

I am trying to use parallel computing toolbox with objects. I was wondering if I could create a distributed array of objects while working in pmode.

The ability to create distributed arrays of user defined objects is not available in MATLAB.

To work around this issue, please create a cell array of the objects and distribute that among the labs. For example consider the following code.

Start PMODE with two labs

pmode start 2

Type the following at the PMODE prompt to create two instances of myObect

d=cell(1,2,distributor);

d(1)={myObj};

d(2)={myObj};

r=localPart(d);

r{1}.a                   %accessing a property 'a' after unwrapping the object
