Program Independent Jobs for a Supported Scheduler

Number Running: 0

Number Finished: 0

Task ID of Errors: []

Note that the job’s State property is pending. This means the job has not been queued

for running yet, so you can now add tasks to it.

The cluster’s display now includes one pending job, as shown in this partial listing:

Associated Jobs

Number Pending: 1

Number Finished: 0

You can transfer files to the worker by using the AttachedFiles property of the job

object. For details, see “Share Code with the Workers” on page 7-16.

Create Tasks

After you have created your job, you can create tasks for the job using the createTask

function. Tasks define the functions to be evaluated by the workers during the running of

the job. Often, the tasks of a job are all identical. In this example, each task will generate

a 3-by-3 matrix of random numbers.

createTask(job1, @rand, 1, {3,3});

The Tasks property of job1 is now a 5-by-1 matrix of task objects.
