MATLAB Distributing Computing Server

Prerequisites

1. On your local system, one of the following MATLAB releases (including in particular, the Parallel Computing Toolbox) must be installed:
   R2010b
   R2011a
   R2011b
2. You must install a couple of files into the directory

matlabroot/toolbox/local (on a Unix/Linux system, analogously for Windows clients)

1. After these preparations, select Parallel -> Manage Configurations and create a new "Generic Scheduler" Configuration:

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.
