Using SharedArray with structs

Specific Domains Julia at Scale
1

I wanted to use @distributed for and SharedArray{MyStruct,1}. However, I get the error:

ArgumentError("type of SharedArray elements must be bits types, got Modia.Instantiation.Instance")

Is there any other way of returning structs from distributed for or other parallelization mechanisms?

Seems to be expecting primitive types.
My quick-and-dirty fix would be to make 1 array per field of your struct then map the constructor to the resulting matrices.

map(MyStruct, array1, array2, ..., arrayN)
# alternative
pmap(MyStruct, array1, array2, ..., arrayN)

Then again this is just a silly hack without knowing any of your particular needs.
As a disclaimer I’m still learning julia, but solving these kind of problems is a great way to improve.
