Choose Solution to Install and Configure MATLAB Parallel Server - MATLAB & Simulink (original) (raw)

Main Content

Consult the following tables and flow chart for help with the most common tasks while setting up MATLAB® Parallel Server™. The tables and flow chart instruct you how to activate the MATLAB Parallel Server license, configure a MATLAB client, and upgrade MATLAB Parallel Server:

Activate the License for, Install, and Configure MATLAB Parallel Server on the Cluster

Consult the following table and flow chart if you and you want to install and configure MATLAB Parallel Server on the cluster.

Configure a MATLAB Client for a User to Submit Jobs to the Cluster

Consult the following table if you already have a cluster configured and you want to configure a new MATLAB client to submit jobs to the cluster.

Scenario Solution
The cluster uses a third-party scheduler and the scheduler has out-of-the-box support in MATLAB. Schedulers with out-of-the-box support are: Microsoft HPC Pack and Windows HPC ServerSlurmLSFTorquePBS Pro and OpenPBSGrid EngineHTCondor See Install Software on Local Desktop. Then follow the instructions for your setup: For Slurm, LSF, Torque, PBS Pro and OpenPBS, Grid Engine, HTCondor – If the client is a Windows machine, start from Configure Windows Firewalls on Server. Otherwise, start from Create Cluster Profile and Validate Installation.For Microsoft HPC Pack and Windows HPC Server – Start from Configure Client Computer for HPC Pack.
The cluster is a Spark cluster. Start from Configure for Spark Clusters.
The cluster is a Hadoop cluster. Start from Configure for Hadoop Clusters.
The cluster uses a third-party scheduler and the scheduler does not have out-of-the-box support in MATLAB. Follow Configure Using the Generic Scheduler Interface.
The cluster uses the MATLAB Job Scheduler. If the cluster is using MathWorks online licensing, ask your cluster administrator to add the new user. For more information, see Add Licensed End Users. Then, follow Connect the MATLAB Client to the MATLAB Parallel Server Cluster.Otherwise, follow Connect MATLAB Client to MATLAB Parallel Server Cluster.

Note

You can export a cluster profile and import it into another client machine. For more information, see Import and Export Cluster Profiles (Parallel Computing Toolbox). By importing a cluster profile, you can use the same configuration for another client machine without recreating the cluster profile manually.

Upgrade MATLAB Parallel Server

Consult the following table if you want to configure a new release of MATLAB Parallel Server.
