You can see examples of profiles for different kinds of supported schedulers in the
MATLAB Distributed Computing Server installation instructions at “Configure Your
Cluster”.
Validate Cluster Profiles
The Cluster Profile Manager includes the ability to validate profiles. Validation assures
that the MATLAB client session can access the cluster, and that the cluster can run the
various types of jobs with the settings of your profile.
To validate a profile, follow these steps:
1
Open the Cluster Profile Manager on the Home tab in the Environment section, by
clicking Parallel > Manage Cluster Profiles.
2
In the Cluster Profile Manager, click the name of the profile you want to test. You
can highlight a profile without changing the selected default profile. So a profile
selected for validation does not need to be your default profile.
3
Click Validate.
Profile validation includes five stages:
1
Connects to the cluster (parcluster)
2
Runs an independent job (createJob) on the cluster using the profile
3
Runs an SPMD-type communicating job on the cluster using the profile
4
Runs a pool-type communicating job on the cluster using the profile
5
Runs a parallel pool job on the cluster using the profile
While the tests are running, the Cluster Profile Manager displays their progress as
