Cluster Profile Manager
Cluster profiles let you define certain properties for your cluster, then have these
properties applied when you create cluster, job, and task objects in the MATLAB client.
Some of the functions that support the use of cluster profiles are
• batch
• parpool
• parcluster
To create, edit, and import cluster profiles, you can do this from the Cluster Profile
Manager. To open the Cluster Profile Manager, on the Home tab in the Environment
section, click Parallel > Manage Cluster Profiles.
Discover Clusters
You can let MATLAB discover clusters for you. Use either of the following techniques to
discover those clusters which are available for you to use:
• On the Home tab in the Environment section, click Parallel > Discover Clusters.
• In the Cluster Profile Manager, click Discover Clusters.
