2 Configuring Parallel Computing Products for a Job Manager
For each computer used as a worker, enter the following commands. You do
not have to be at the machines where the MATLAB workers will run, as long
as you have access to the MD CS installation.
1 Go to the folder with the startup scripts.
cd matlabroot/toolbox/distcomp/ bin
2 Start the wo rkers on each node, using the text for <MyJobManager> that
identifies the name of the job manager you w ant this wo rke r registered
with. Enter this te xt on a single line.
./startworker -jobmanagerhost <job manager hostname>
-jobmanager <My Job Manager> -remotehost <worker hostna me> -v
Torunmorethanoneworkersession on the sam e machine , give each
worker a unique name with the
-name option.
./startworker ... -name <work er1>
./startworker . .. -name <worker2>
3 Verify that the worker is running. R epeat this command for each worker
node.
./nodestatus - remo teho st <worker host name >
For more information about mdce, job manager, and w orker processes,
such as how to shut them down or customize them, see the “Network
Administration” chapter in the MATLAB Distributed Computing Server
System Administrator's Guide.
Step 4: Install the mdce Service to Start Automatically
at Boot Time (UNIX)
Although this step is not required, it is helpful in case of a system crash.
Once configured for this, 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.
