When your cloud cluster is running, you access it and workers in much the same way
you access a cluster in your own on-site network. Through cluster profiles or parallel
computing functions, you identify available clusters for creating and submitting jobs.
Import Cluster Profiles
You can use the Cluster Profile Manager to import the MJScomputecloud profile that
you downloaded from the Cloud Center, so that parallel applications in your MATLAB
session can use the desired cloud cluster by default.
1
On your MATLAB desktop, select Parallel > Manage Cluster Profiles.
2
Click Import in the toolbar.
3
Navigate to the location where you saved the profile you downloaded from the Cloud
Center, and select the profile with its .settings extension.
4
Select the newly imported profile in the Profile Manager list of profiles, then click
Set As Default in the toolbar. Setting a profile as a default allows your parallel
computing code to use this profile and its cluster with minimal code changes.
Test Your Cloud Cluster with the Profile Validator
With your cloud cluster profile selected, you can test your cloud cluster by running a
validation of the profile:
1
If the profile manager is not already open, on your MATLAB desktop, select Parallel
> Manage Cluster Profiles.
2
Select the name of your cloud profile and click Validate in the toolbar. This
automatically displays the Validation Results tab so you can view the tests in
progress. A pop-up dialog box might require you to log in to your MathWorks account
to validate your cluster profile.
