Hi Bruno,

The matlab help doesn't list QR as a method supported by the parallel computation. And I did try it after reading your reply, and I got the following message:

Undefined function or method 'qr' for input arguments of type 'codistributed'

Sorry for missreading. I don't know anything about parallelization or codistribution.

Note that QR is basically a sequential algorithm where one step must carried out after other.
