help with passing cell array argument to function running on worker with batch

I'm trying to pass a cell array argument to a function that should run on a worker using batch. I'm using:

batch(@myFunction,0,{CellArrayInput});

I also tried

batch(@myFunction,0,CellArrayInput);

but none of them work. Is it even possible to pass cell array arguments?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for reporting this issue, unfortunately you have uncovered a bug in the Parallel Computing Toolbox. For now I'm afraid you'll have to find a way to pass the arguments to your function using something other than a cell array.

I have reported the issue to the developers. Sorry that I couldn't provide you with a more satisfactory answer.

Thanks, Tom
