I'm currently working on an optimization problem that uses the build in function ga. I take advantage of the parallel computing option with 'UseParallel',true so that it can speed the calculation. However, I've also implemented parfor in my objective function which processes some images. I'm wondering if it can causes any issue because everything seems to be working fine at this moment. However, I do realize the time required for each generation takes longer when I increase the 'MaxGenerations' from 10 to 400, which doesn't make sense to me. I'm afraid the parfor has something to do with it. Can anyone explain how Paralel computing works in ga and let me know if this isn't the right way to use parfor. Many thanks!
