first steps
Per FarmShare software try something like:
module avail module load MATLAB-R2012a
If you're running MATLAB for the first time, it'll try to write some stuff into $HOME/.matlab so make sure you have your AFS tokens or else MATLAB will crash with an undecipherable error message.
PCT
We have the Parallel Computing Toolbox, you can use that to parallelize your job across multiple cores in a single machine.
Here's how to write a job using MDCS: http://docs.uabgrid.uab.edu/wiki/MatLab_CLI#Parallel_MATLAB
You can use the "maxNumCompThreads" command (deprecated) to see how many parallel threads you can run. I get "24" on barley, or "8" on corn.
simple PCT run
matlab -nodesktop -r 'maxNumCompThreads' >> matlabpool ( 'open', 'local', 8) Starting matlabpool using the 'local' configuration ... connected to 8 labs. >> >> matlabpool size ans = 8 Then use 'parfor' instead of 'for'.
matlabpool of size 0 and size 1 are effectively the same, except the latter uses a PCT toolbox license.
Here are some training slides and example code that I copied from http://www.osc.edu/~samsi/sc11edu/
example single matlab file run via qsub
Here's our helloworld.m:
disp('Hello World');
Here's a command to run that.
/afs/ir.stanford.edu/software/matlab-2011b/bin/matlab -nodesktop < helloworld.m
We want to run this same command via the job scheduling system. Let's write a job script.
#!/bin/bash #$ -N matlab_example #$ -m bes #$ -M chekh@stanford.edu /afs/ir.stanford.edu/software/matlab-2011b/bin/matlab -nodesktop < /afs/ir/users/c/h/chekh/helloworld.m
Submit the script:
qsub matlab_example.script
Look at the job status:
qstat
You should get output file like matlab_example.oXXXXX
