Configure Sun Grid Engine on Linux Cluster

To run parallel jobs with MATLAB Distributed Computing Server and Sun™

Grid Engine (SGE), you need to establish a “matlab” parallel environm ent

for SGE. The “matlab” parallel environment described in these instructions

is based on the “MPI” exam p le shipped w ith SGE. To use this parallel

environment, you must u se the

matlabpe.template,customizedtomatchthe

number of slots available, and to indicate w here the

startmatlabpe.sh and

stopmatlabpe.sh scripts are installed on your cluster.

In the following instructions ,

matlabroot refers to the MATLAB installation

location.

Create the Parallel Environment

The following steps create the parallel environment (PE ), and then make the

parallel environment runnable on a particular queue. You should perform

these steps on the head n ode of your cluster.

1 Navigate to the folder of the integration files appropriate for your cluster:

shared, nonsh ared ,orremoteSubmission, with one of the following shell

commands.

cd matlabr oot/toolbox/distcomp/examples/integration/sge/shared

matlabroot/toolbox/distcomp/examples/integration/sge/nonshared

matlabroot/toolbox/distcomp/examples/integration/sge/remoteSubmission

2 Modify the contents of matlabpe.templa te to use the desired number

of slots and the correct location of the

startmatlabpe.sh and

stopmatlabpe.sh files. (These files can exist in a shared location access ib le

by all hosts, or they can be copied to the s ame local on each host.) You can

also change other values or add additional values to

matlabpe.template to

suit your cluster. For more information, refer to the sge_pe documentation

provided with your scheduler.

3 Add the “matlab” parallel environment, using a shell command like:

qconf - Ap matlabpe.temp late

4 Make the “matlab” parallel environment runnable on all queues:
