Now I'm having a hard time understanding how variables get passes to and from a local worker. In the following, I ask a local worker to to compute sin(x) and return the result. Notice that x is defined on the main worker, but @spawnat knows to send it's value to the local worker.
addprocs(1) x=10 fetch(@spawnat 2 sin(x)) Why can't the same thing be done with a function? foo(x) = sin(x) fetch(@spawnat 2 foo(x)) #<--- gives an error Of course, I could get this to work using @everywhere foo(x) = sin(x), but for my situation foo depends on a bunch of other functions, which are defined before I add the other workers and I don't want to redefine all these function with @everywhere once the workers are added. Any help would be appreciated:)
