Benefits of MDCS
Prerequisites
- On your local machine (PC, workstation, notebook, ...), you must have one of the following MATLAB releases installed:
<nobr>R2010b
<nobr>R2011a
<nobr>R2011b
It is important that the installation includes all toolboxes, in particular the Parallel Computing Toolbox (PCT). It is recommended to install MATLAB from the media provided by the IT Services on their website. In that case, all required components (including the PCT) are automatically installed. - You must install a couple of files into the directory
matlabroot/toolbox/local
(on a Unix/Linux system, analogously for Windows clients) - After these preparations, select Parallel -> Manage Configurations and create a new "Generic Scheduler" Configuration:
After these preliminaries, you are prepared for exploring the rich possibilities of distributed and parallel computing with MATLAB!
Old (non-MDCS) MATLAB usage
To submit a MATLAB job, you must first load the environment module in your submission script:
module load matlab
This automatically loads the newest version, if several versions are installed. After that, invoke MATLAB in batch mode:
matlab -nosplash -nodesktop -r mymatlab_input
where mymatlab_input.m (a so-called ".m-file") is an ASCII text file containing the sequence of MATLAB commands that you would normally enter in an interactive session.
