Benefits of MDCS
Prerequisites
- On your local machine (PC, workstation, notebook, ...), one of the following MATLAB releases (including in particular, the Parallel Computing Toolbox) must be installed:
R2010b
R2011a
R2011b - 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:
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.
