Clusters and Cluster Profiles
6-17
The imported profile appears in your Cluster Profile Manager list. Note that the list
contains the profile name, which is not necessarily the file name. If you already have
a profile with the same name as the one you are importing, the imported profile gets
an extension added to its name so you can distinguish it.
You can also export and import profiles programmatically with the
parallel.exportProfile and parallel.importProfile functions.
Export Profiles for MATLAB Compiler
You can use an exported profile with MATLAB Compiler and MATLAB Compiler SDK
to identify cluster setup information for running compiled applications on a cluster. For
example, the setmcruserdata function can use the exported profile file name to set the
value for the key ParallelProfile. For more information and examples of deploying
parallel applications, see in the MATLAB Compiler documentation.
A compiled application has the same default profile and the same list of alternative
profiles that the compiling user had when the application was compiled. This means that
in many cases the profile file is not needed, as might be the case when using the local
profile for local workers. If an exported file is used, the first profile in the file becomes the
default when imported. If any of the imported profiles have the same name as any of the
existing profiles, they are renamed during import (though their names in the file remain
unchanged).
Create and Modify Cluster Profiles
The first time you open the Cluster Profile Manager, it lists only one profile called
local, which is the initial default profile having only default settings at this time.
