Program Independent Jobs on a Local Cluster
7-7
evaluation to the local cluster, the scheduler starts a MATLAB worker for each task in
the job, but only up to as many workers as allowed by the local profile. If your job has
more tasks than allowed workers, the scheduler waits for one of the current tasks to
complete before starting another MATLAB worker to evaluate the next task. You can
modify the number of allowed workers in the local cluster profile. If not specified, the
default is to run only as many workers as computational cores on the machine.
The local cluster has no interaction with any other scheduler or MJS, nor with any other
workers that might also be running on your client machine under the mdce service.
Multiple MATLAB sessions on your computer can each start its own local scheduler with
its own workers, but these groups do not interact with each other.
When you end your MATLAB client session, its local scheduler and any workers that
happen to be running at that time also stop immediately.
