Examples for using distributed computing with COMKAT

Setting Matlab Distributed Computing Server (MDCS)

To start the parallel computing, user should install MDCS as described in this document. Note: In order to use MDCS for COMKAT, users must have COMKAT folders with the same pathway in both the client and the cluster. Users could use funciton 'addpath' to add pathway for COMKAT folders.

Setting Up Client (User's Computer) for Matlab Distributed Computing

Stage 4 of the customized document generated by clicking on the document link above gives details on how to set up the user's computer. Please review that document for details and screen snapshots. In brief, the steps for a Windows client are to click on the Parallel menu item (to the right of File, Edit, ... in the MATLAB window). If this is the first time you are using MATLAB Distributed Computing, click Manage. On the File menu, click New and select the desired jobmanager type. To use MATLAB's built-in manager, select jobmanager. Define name and other properties for the configuration including the Job manager host name (e.g. an IP address) and the job name manager. On the jobs tab, specify the maximum and minimum numbers of workers. Click OK/save.
