Hey folks,
I experienced a different output of the standard function rand() in a parfor-loop although I am using the same seed-value. Example:
>> parfor i = 1:1, rng(123), rand(1,1), endans = 0.2751>> for i = 1:1, rng(123), rand(1,1), endans = 0.6965
Is this a bug? I would expect exactly the same output of rand() in parfor.
Thanks & greetings Jonas
