MATLAB Distributed Computing Server 4.3

Using MATLAB Distributed Computing Server

MATLAB Distributed Computing Server software is installed on a computer cluster. The server workers (MATLAB computational engines that run independently of client sessions) receive and execute computations from various clients. Multiple users can use the server simultaneously.

MATLAB and Simulink users interact with MATLAB Distributed Computing Server through Parallel Computing Toolbox. The users program parallel applications using the toolbox installed on their workstations. To execute their programs, they either initiate an interactive session or construct and submit jobs for batch execution. Users also have the option to run eight workers on their desktop using just the toolbox for prototyping before scaling up using the server.

With MATLAB Compiler, MATLAB users can build standalone executables or shared libraries from their parallel MATLAB programs for royalty-free distribution as parts of desktop or Web applications. MATLAB Distributed Computing Server workers running on a cluster can perform MATLAB computations received from these executables and shared libraries.

The server enables applications developed using Parallel Computing Toolbox to harness computer clusters for large problems. Compiled parallel MATLAB applications can also use the server.
