Matlab configure for the cluster

First time, since May 13 2024

• If you use MATLAB after May 13 2024, of any version, you have to do the following step to be able to use the full features of running parallel jobs.

  • Only needs to be run once.
  • Note, however, that on Bianca this has to be done separately.

• After logging into the cluster, configure MATLAB to run parallel jobs on the cluster by calling the shell script configCluster.sh.

module load matlab/<version>
configCluster.sh <project-ID>    # Note: no '-A'

• This will run a short configuration job in an interactive session.
• Jobs will now default to the cluster rather than submit to the local machine.
• It should look like this (example for Bianca)

• The session should exit automatically but if not you can end the session by
  • exit
  • or <CTRL-C>
• When done, start Matlab as you usually do with matlab &.

Warning

• On Bianca you need to do this for each sens project that will use MATLAB, as well.
