Hi Andrew, I think the problem is that you assume that both matrices have the same partitioning. If you guarantee that this is the case, then you can use the subtask index as the block index. But in the general case this is not true, and then you have to calculate the blocks by first assigning a block index (e.g. rows with 0-9 index are assigned to block 0, rows with 10-19 assigned to block 1, etc.) and then create the blocks by reducing on this block index. That's because the distribution of the individual rows in the cluster is not necessarily the same between two matrices.
