parallelization - Changing a Part of a variable within ParallelDo


I want to evaluate nested do as a parallel computations. My formula looks like:



Do[
Do[
CC[[i, j]] += Kepf[[i, j]],{j, 1, Dimensions[Kepf][[2]]}
],{i, 1, Dimensions[Kepf][[1]]}
]

When previously I created 0 matrix CC and some matrix Kepf. I just want to insert matrix Kepf into matrix CC. When the matrices are very large it takes some time. So I want use parallel computations to shorten time.


Let`s consider a numerical example:


I create matrix A:


A = Table[0, {4}, {4}]


{{0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0}}


and matrix B:


B = Table[2 i + j, {i, 1, 2}, {j, 1, 2}]
{{3, 4}, {5, 6}}

then I evaluate the code


Do[A[[j]][[i]] += B[[i]][[j]], {i, 1, 2}, {j, 1, 2}]
{{3, 5, 0, 0}, {4, 6, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0}}


I`ve got what I wanted, but when I try to do parallel computing using the code


SetSharedVariable[A, B]
ParallelDo[A[[j]][[i]] += B[[i]][[j]], {i, 1, 2}, {j, 1, 2}]

It says that:


(kernel 2) Part::wrsym: Symbol A is Protected.
(kernel 1) Part::wrsym: Symbol A is Protected.
(kernel 2) Part::wrsym: Symbol A is Protected.
(kernel 1) Part::wrsym: Symbol A is Protected.


Any idea?



Answer



With


a = Table[0, {4}, {4}]
b = Table[2 i + j, {i, 1, 2}, {j, 1, 2}]

using


SetSharedVariable[a]
ParallelDo[a[[j, i]] += b[[i, j]], {i, 1, 2}, {j, 1, 2}]
a



{{3, 5, 0, 0}, {4, 6, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0}}

would work, but using


a += Transpose[b] ~PadRight~ Dimensions@a


{{3, 5, 0, 0}, {4, 6, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 0}}


is much nicer and faster.

front end - keyboard shortcut to invoke Insert new matrix

I frequently need to type in some matrices, and the menu command Insert > Table/Matrix > New... allows matrices with lines drawn between columns and rows, which is very helpful. I would like to make a keyboard shortcut for it, but cannot find the relevant frontend token command (4209405) for it. Since the FullForm[] and InputForm[] of matrices with lines drawn between rows and columns is the same as those without lines, it's hard to do this via 3rd party system-wide text expanders (e.g. autohotkey or atext on mac). How does one assign a keyboard shortcut for the menu item Insert > Table/Matrix > New... , preferably using only mathematica? Thanks! Answer In the MenuSetup.tr (for linux located in the $InstallationDirectory/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X/ directory), I changed the line MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog"] to read MenuItem["&New...", "CreateGridBoxDialog", MenuKey["m", Modifiers-...

plotting - Magnifying Glass on a Plot

Although there is a trick in TEX magnifying glass but I want to know is there any function to magnifying glass on a plot with Mathematica ? For example for a function as Sin[x] and at x=Pi/6 Below, this is just a picture desired from the cited site. the image got huge unfortunately I don't know how can I change the size of an image here! Answer Insetting a magnified part of the original Plot A) by adding a new Plot of the specified range xPos = Pi/6; range = 0.2; f = Sin; xyMinMax = {{xPos - range, xPos + range}, {f[xPos] - range*GoldenRatio^-1, f[xPos] + range*GoldenRatio^-1}}; Plot[f[x], {x, 0, 5}, Epilog -> {Transparent, EdgeForm[Thick], Rectangle[Sequence @@ Transpose[xyMinMax]], Inset[Plot[f[x], {x, xPos - range, xPos + range}, Frame -> True, Axes -> False, PlotRange -> xyMinMax, ImageSize -> 270], {4., 0.5}]}, ImageSize -> 700] B) by adding a new Plot within a Circle mf = RegionMember[Disk[{xPos, f[xPos]}, {range, range/GoldenRatio}]] Show...
