This page is under construction, Will be completed by 6/30 Following this procedure a user will be able to submit jobs to lochness or stheno from Matlab running locally on the user's computer. The version of Matlab on the user's computer must be the same as on the cluster, currently 2021a.
Contents
Installing the Add-On
From the Matlab window, click on "Add-ons" and select "Get Add-Ons."
In the search box enter "slurm" and click on the magnifying glass icon.
Select "Parallel Computing Toolbox plugin for MATLAB Parallel Server with Slurm"
Alternatively, this Add-On can be downloaded directly from the Mathworks site.
Click on "Install."
The installation of the Add-On is complete. Click on "OK" the start the "Generic Profile Wizard for Slurm."
Creating a Profile for Lochness or Stheno
The following steps will create a profile for lochness (or stheno). Click "Next" to begin.

Select "No" for the "Do you want to use an identity file to log in to the cluster" option and click next to continue.
In the "Cluster Details" screen enter the full path to the directory on lochness to store the Matlab job files. In the case the directory is $HOME/MDCS. MDCS stands for Matlab Distributed Computing Server. It is not necessary to name this directory MDCS. This directory can be named anything you wish. To determine the value of $HOME, log onto lochness and run the following:

Make sure to check the box "Use unique subfolders."
Click "Next" to continue.
In the "Workers" screen enter "512" for the number of workers and "/opt/site/apps/matlab/R2021a" for "MATLAB installation folders for workers." Click "Next" to continue.
In the "License" screen make sure to select "Network license manager" and click "Next" to continue.
