Les versions récentes du package parallel lancent une session Octave par processeur. Cette nouvelle stratégie, plus fiable à priori, apporte des limitations parmi lesquelles l'impossibilité de passer à pararrayfun (et autres parcellfun, ...) des handle vers des fonctions définies dans des scripts (comme c'est le cas dans l'exemple), car celles ci sont inconnues dans les sessions esclave. Seuls les handle vers des fonctions anonymes et les fonctions définies dans leur propre fichier sont acceptables.

Pour que cet exemple fonctionne dans les versions récentes il suffit de définir la fonction myfun dans son propre fichier myfun.m placé dans le même dossier que le script appelant (ou dans le path) et le tour est joué.

Je cite ci-dessous la doc:

Note that netcellfun, netarrayfun, and rfeval, but even parcellfun and pararrayfun, execute code in separate Octave processes. This causes some limitations.

For the function handles passed as arguments to parcellfun, pararrayfun, netcellfun, netarrayfun, and rfeval, the following limitations may apply:

  • In Octave versions before 5.1, anonymous functions may only be passed if they don’t use varargin and don’t contain nested anonymous functions.
  • If a handle to a named function, written in a function file, is passed, this function must exist on the server machine. This is usually no problem for parcellfun and pararrayfun.
  • Named functions defined in the command line interface or by scripts are not exported to the working sessions used by parcellfun or pararrayfun, and not automatically to the server for remote parallel execution.
  • For handles to subfunctions or to private functions limitations depending on the used Octave version may apply.


Anonymous functions should be usable as usual, since the function specification sent to the server will include the anonymous functions context.

If parcellfun or pararrayfun (and of course the cluster-related functions, too) are called from within a function with subfunctions, the subfunctions won’t be visible in parallel execution.

Sous Ubuntu 22.04, GnuOctave 6.4.0, Parallel 4.0.1-3

J'execute (Test_Parallel ci-joint) correspondant à l'exemple donné dans "Examples_of_how_to_use_pararrayfun.pdf"
et obtient un message d'erreur à l'execution

>> Test_Parallel


t2 = 4.8717
execution error
error: _parcellfun_get_next_result_: could not receive result
error: called from
    parcellfun at line 201 column 16
    pararrayfun at line 85 column 28
    Test_Parallel at line 33 column 22


Ce même programme fonctionne parfaitement sous
Ubuntu 20.04, GnuOctave 5.2.0, Parallel 3.1.3
