Are gpuArray supported within parfor?

Hi,
I am running the following code and receive an error
Error using gpuArrayTest (line 16)
The following error occurred converting from gpuArray to double:
Conversion to double from gpuArray is not possible.
Line 16 is
parfor i = 1:numel(x_c)
My Code is as follows
%Window Size
W=20;
num_files=3;
% My Code: Read template image from disk - imread > imcrop
im1 = gpuArray(rand(150));
% Actual Code: S = size(template image | im1)
S=[65,62];
[x_c,y_c]=meshgrid(W+1:S(2)-W, W+1:S(1)-W);
max_xcorr_1=zeros(size(x_c),'gpuArray');
% store xcorr results from all filse
max_xcorr_arr=zeros([size(x_c),num_files]);
Loop over a file list.
for j=1:num_files
% My Code: Read image from disk - imread > imcrop
im2 = gpuArray(rand(150));
tic;
parfor i = 1:numel(x_c)
x=x_c(i);
y=y_c(i);
% Check to see if all pixels in template is not 0 (same).
if (~max(im1(x-W:x+W,y-W:y+W),[],'all')==0)
nxc = normxcorr2(im1(x-W:x+W-1, y-W:y+W-1), im2(x-W:x+W-1, y-W:y+W-1));
% Commenting the line below avoids the gpuArray > double coversion error.
max_xcorr_1(i)=max(nxc,[],'all');
end
end
max_xcorr_arr(:,:,j)=gather(max_xcorr_1);
toc
end
However, I do not receive the error if I do one of the following -
  1. I comment out the line `max_xcorr_1(i)=max(nxc,[],'all');`
  2. Reduce the size of the meshgrid to `S=[40, 40]`. The smallest number that I can use without getting the error varies from time to time.
  3. I replace `parfor` with `for`.
I have 8 local MATLAB Workers running. My GPU is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX860M with 4GB of dedicated RAM. My questions are -
  1. Is gpuArray supported within a `parfor`?
  2. Irrespective of the meshgrid size defined by S, The `normxorr2` operation runs on a 2W x 2W sized matrix. So, why does the size S affect the code?
  3. How can I get around this?
