3 Configuring Parallel Computing Products for HPC Server
Validate Installation Us ing Microsoft Windows HPC Server
This procedure verifies that your parallel computing products are installed
and configured correctly for using Microsoft
®
Windows HPC Server or
Compute Cluster Server (CCS).
Step 1: Define a Cluster Profile
In this step you define a cluster profile to use in subsequent steps.
1 Start the Cluster Profile Manager from the MATLAB desktop by selecting
Parallel > Manage Profiles.
2 Create a new profile in the Cluster Profile Manager b y selecting
New > HPC Server.
3 With the new profile selected in the list, click Rename and edit the profile
name to be
HPCtest.PressEnter.
4 In the Properties tab, provide text for the following fields :
a Set the Description field to For testing installation with HPC
Server
.
b Set the NumWorkers fie ld to the number of w orkers y ou want to run
the validation t ests o n, within the limitatio n of yo ur licensing.
c Set the Host field to the name of the host on which your scheduler is
running. Depending on your network, this might be a simiple host name,
or it might have to be a fully qualified domain name.
Note: The following four property settings (JobStorageLocation,
ClusterMatlabRoot, ClusterVersion, and UseSOAJobSubmission) are
optional, and need to be set in here in the profile only if you did not run
MicrosoftHPCServ erSe tup.bat as described in “Configure Cluster for
Microsoft Windows HPC Server” on page 3-2, or if you want to override
the setting established by that script.
d Set the JobStorageLocation tothelocationwhereyouwantjob
