cmd
If you are using a version of Windows other than Windows XP, you must
run the command window with administrator privileges. To do this, click
Start > Programs > Acc e ssories; right-click Command Window,and
select Run a s Adm inistrator. This op t ion is available only if you a re
running User Account Control (UAC).
3 Navigate to the f older with the control scripts.
cd matlabroot\toolbox\distcomp\ bin
4 Install the mdce service by typing the command
mdce install
5 Start the mdce service by typing the command
mdce start
6 Repeat the instructions of this step on all worker nodes.
As an alternative to items 6–8, you can install and start the mdce service on
several nodes remotely from one machine by typing
cd matlabroot\toolbox\distcomp\ bin
remotemdce inst all -remotehost hostA,hostB,hostC . . .
remotemdce star t -remotehost hostA ,hostB,hostC . . .
where hostA,hostB,ho stC refers to a list of your host names. Note that there
are no spaces between ho st names, only a com ma. If you need to indicate
protocol, platform (such as in a mixed environment), or other information, see
the help for
remotemdce by typing
remotemdce -he lp
Once installed, the mdce service starts running each time the machine
reboots. The mdce service continues to run until explicitly stopped or
uninstalled, regardless of whether a job managerorworkersessionisrunning.
