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-...

mathematical optimization - Minimizing using indices, error: Part::pkspec1: The expression cannot be used as a part specification

I want to use Minimize where the variables to minimize are indices pointing into an array. Here a MWE that hopefully shows what my problem is. vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@ { Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; Minimize[{Total@((vec1[[#]] - vec2[[u[#]]])^2 & /@ Range[1, 3]), cons}, vars, Integers] The error I get: Part::pkspec1: The expression u[1] cannot be used as a part specification. >> Answer Ok, it seems that one can get around Mathematica trying to evaluate vec2[[u[1]]] too early by using the function Indexed[vec2,u[1]] . The working MWE would then look like the following: vars = u@# & /@ Range[3]; cons = Flatten@{ Table[(u[j] != #) & /@ vars[[j + 1 ;; -1]], {j, 1, 3 - 1}], 1 vec1 = {1, 2, 3}; vec2 = {1, 2, 3}; NMinimize[ {Total@((vec1[[#]] - Indexed[vec2, u[#]])^2 & /@ R...
