Where is “Matlab ” located and how do I access it?
The present version of Matlab is R2008b. The programs in the Matlab package are located in the directory /opt/matlab Note that most Matlab Toolboxes are installed on the HPCVL clusters. However, HPCVL only holds a “3rd party access MATLAB Distributed Computing Server license”. This enables HPCVL users who have a pre-existing Matlab license (Matlab + “Distributed Computing Toolbox (DCT)”) to submit and run parallel Matlab jobs to our cluster nodes. It is furthermore required that you sign a statement. We will confirm this statement, and you will then be made a member of a Unix group “matlab”, which enables you to access the software. Contact us if you are in doubt of whether you will be able to run Matlab on our system. Our Matlab license is “process limited”. At present, there are 64 processes available. A single Matlab run can use up to 16 processes, and up to 2 Matlab jobs can run at a time for a given HPCVL user.
