4 Configuring Parallel Computing Products for Supported Third-Party Schedulers (PBSPro,PlatformLSF,TORQUE)
Validate Installation Using an LSF, PBS Pro, or TORQUE
Scheduler
This procedure
verifies that your parallel computing products are installed
and configured
correctly.
Step 1: Define
a User Configuration
In this step y
ou define a user configuration to use in subsequent steps.
1 Start the Con
figurations Manager from the MATLAB desktop by selecting
Parallel > M
anage Configurations.
2 Create a new configuration in the Configurations M anager dialog box by
selecting File > New > lsf (or pbspro or torque,asappropriate).
3 In the Scheduler Configuration Properties dialog box, provide settings for
the following fields:
a Set the Configuration name field to InstallTest.
b Set the Description field to For testing installation .
c Set the Root directory of MATLAB to the installation location of the
MATLAB to be executed by the worker machines, as determ ined in
Chapter 1 of the installation instructions.
d Set the Directory w here job data is stored to the location where
youwantjobandtaskdatatobestored(accessibletoalltheworker
machines if you have a shared file system).
e Set the Additional command line arguments as required by your
particular cluster and scheduler.
f If using LSF
®
,settheCluster nodes' OS to the o perating system of
your worker machines.
g Set the Job data location is accessible to indicate if client and
workers can share the same data location.
The
dialog box should look something like this, or slightly different for
PBS
Pro
®
or TORQ U E schedulers.
