Introduction

The MATLAB Distributed Computing Server (MDCS) is a service for offloading computationally-intensive calculations from your workstation to the Euler computer cluster as transparently as possible.

The most common use case is offloading a computationally-intensive parfor loop, which takes more than several hours to run on a normal workstation.

Setup

Quick setup:

  1. Install MATLAB version 8.5 (R2015a) on your workstation.
  2. (optional but recommended) Open your firewall from 10.205.0.0/19 to ports 27370–27470 on your workstation.
  3. Unpack the MATLAB interface files for Euler into Documents\MATLAB (Windows) or ~/Documents/MATLAB (Linux, Mac).
  4. Import the Euler_8.5.settings cluster profile into MATLAB.
  5. Log in to Euler to accept the usage agreement (if you are not already an Euler user)
  6. Validate the Euler cluster profile.
