Random Number Generator Matlab with Multiple CPUs

Question

I would like to write a matlab script which runs in parallel using multiple CPUS. The script should then print out a sequence of normally distributed random numbers. At the

Answer 1

Some of the random number generators store a value that is essentially an index into the sequence of psuedo-random numbers for a particular seed value.

When running in parallel the different CPUs could be overlaying each others setting of that index value.

You could pre-allocate a vector of random numbers using one CPU and then exec the parallel for loop that pulls numbers from that vector.
