Matlab parfor error. Slicing variables

I'm trying to parallelize the following code:

for m = 1:t
  dR((m-1)*3+1) = temp1(m);
  dR((m-1)*3+2) = temp2(m);
  dR(m*3) = temp3(m);
end

temp1, temp2, temp3 are just vecoters with size of m X 1. The size of dR is 3m X 3m.

Whenever I use parfor instead of for, it the code indicate errors in dR. I am not sure why. Please give me some suggestions.

Thank you!

You're not correctly "slicing" dR. For parfor to run, output variables need to be indexed according to the rules described here. To fix your code, you could do this:

dR = zeros(t, 3);
parfor m = 1:t
    dR(m, 1:3) = [temp1(m), temp2(m), temp3(m)];
end

This then has the correct form of indexing for dR - i.e. a fixed index listing, and the loop variable appears as one of the subscripts.
