How to nest multiple parfor loops

Question

parfor is a convenient way to distribute independent iterations of intensive computations among several \"workers\". One meaningful restriction is that pa

Answer 1

Based on the answers from @DanielR and @MrAzzaman, I am posting two functions, iterlin and iterget in place of prod and ind2sub that allow iteration over ranges also if those do not start from one. An example for the pattern becomes

rng = [1, 4; 2, 7; 3, 10];
parfor k = iterlin(rng)
    [plate, row, col] = iterget(rng, k);
    % time-consuming computations here %
end

The script will process the wells in rows 2 to 7 and columns 3 to 10 on plates 1 to 4 without any workers idling while more wells are waiting to be processed. In hope that this helps someone, I deposited iterlin and iterget at the MATLAB File Exchange.
