When optimizing with ga and parallel computing, a sub2ind call using globals fails (subscript vectors must be of same size), but when doing it in serial, it doesn't fail. Why?

Note that the above discussion is only for serial computing. The considerations are a bit different for parallel computing, where each worker must have a copy of the data because they are different processes.

The discussion still applies to parallel computing if we're not talking about the one-time cost of broadcasting constant data to the workers. The OP seems to think that arguments passed to the fitness function will be copied "again and again" each time the fitness function is called. That is not true, even on parallel workers

Global variables are never copied to parallel workers.
You might be able to take advantage of parallel.pool.Constant or of parfevalOnAll() to initialize the variable on all of the workers.

If you have especially large shared data, you could also use the File Exchange contribution https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/28572-sharedmatrix to use shared memory. This will only work if the compute nodes are on the same host, though
