It seems like only the function definition itself should have to be defined everywhere, but not the variables captured in the currying operation. Here is a minimal example:  addprocs 2    no  everywhere required Nlist   repmat  1000 ,10    define function to execute  will not work without  everywhere  everywhere myfun N,M    sum randn N,M  randn M,N      define some local variable  will not work without  everywhere. This should not be necessary!  everywhere M   1000   map over curried function: make sure all captured variables are defined  everywhere!  time pmap N -  myfun N,M ,Nlist    kshyatt kshyatt added the parallel label on Dec 9, 2015  malmaud malmaud commented on Dec 9, 2015  M is a global variable here. Global variable references are never captured by value, but instead remain references.  malmaud malmaud closed this on Dec 9, 2015
