7 Program Independent Jobs

7-30

c = parcluster('MyGenericProfile')

If your cluster uses a shared file system for workers to access job and task data, set the

JobStorageLocation and HasSharedFilesystem properties to specify where the

job data is stored and that the workers should access job data directly in a shared file

system.

c.JobStorageLocation = '\\share\scratch\jobdata'

c.HasSharedFilesystem = true

Note All nodes require access to the folder specified in the cluster object’s

JobStorageLocation property.

If JobStorageLocation is not set, the default location for job data is the current

working directory of the MATLAB client the first time you use parcluster to create an

object for this type of cluster, which might not be accessible to the worker nodes.

If MATLAB is not on the worker’s system path, set the ClusterMatlabRoot property to

specify where the workers are to find the MATLAB installation.

c.ClusterMatlabRoot = '\\apps\matlab\'

You can look at all the property settings on the scheduler object. If no jobs are in the

JobStorageLocation folder, the Jobs property is a 0-by-1 array. All settable property

values on a scheduler object are local to the MATLAB client, and are lost when you close

the client session or when you remove the object from the client workspace with delete

or clear all.

You must set the IndependentSubmitFcn property to specify the submit function for

this cluster.

c.IndependentSubmitFcn = @mysubmitfunc

With the scheduler object and the user-defined submit and decode functions defined,

programming and running a job is now similar to doing so with any other type of

supported scheduler.
