batch

11-11

Clean up a batch job’s data after you are finished with it:

delete(j)

Run a batch function on a cluster that generates a 10-by-10 random matrix:

c = parcluster();

j = batch(c,@rand,1,{10,10});

wait(j) % Wait for the job to finish

diary(j) % Display the diary

r = fetchOutputs(j); % Get results into a cell array

r{1} % Display result

Tips

To see your batch job’s status or to track its progress, use the Job Monitor, as described

in “Job Monitor” on page 6-29. You can also use the Job Monitor to retrieve a job object

for a batch job that was created in a different session, or for a batch job that was created

without returning a job object from the batch call.

As a matter of good programming practice, when you no longer need it, you should delete

the job created by the batch function so that it does not continue to consume cluster

storage resources.
