Wesleyan has obtained a campus wide site license for Matlab since version 2017. Hence there is no need to check out a license and the queue matlab has been removed. You can use version 2017 and onward on all queues in unlimited number off jobs. Your submit script should do something simple like
#!/bin/bash # create this file then submit # submit via 'bsub < run.sh' #BSUB -q tinymem #BSUB -J test #BSUB -o out #BSUB -e err # match maxNumCompThreads(8); in matlab code #BSUB -n 8 # all cores on single host #BSUB -R "span[hosts=1]" export PATH=/share/apps/CENTOS6/matlab/R2019a/bin:$PATH matlab -nodisplay < myJob.m > myJob.log

MATLAB's Distributed Computing Server R2015a requires CentOS6 so launch on swallowtail or petaltail and use all queues but not hp12.
Ever since Matlab R2008a, I've been copying the “lsf” integration files forward from release to release to get parallel job submissions working for Lava (v1.x). Every upgrade I ask for Lava integration support instead of having to use generic integration files.
Well, that era came to an end with R2015a. Got it to work but there are some changes.
First the admin side of things: (there has to a better way)
cd /share/apps/CENTOS6/matlab/2015a/toolbox/distcomp/examples/ # read the READMEs on the way down cd integration/ cd lsf/ cd shared/ cp -p * /share/apps/CENTOS6/matlab/2015a/toolbox/local/
You can of course write a submit script (see below) and submit it to the scheduler, but with the Distributed Computing Server you can also do it from within Matlab.
# put this in a script myJob.m, then call it from within Matlab or type it all in, or set up a profile
% distributed matlab jobs
% start 'matlab -nodisplay', issue the command 'myJob'
% set up the scheduler and matlab worker environment
cluster = parallel.cluster.Generic('JobStorageLocation', '/home/hmeij/matlab');
set(cluster, 'HasSharedFilesystem', true);
set(cluster, 'ClusterMatlabRoot', '/share/apps/CENTOS6/matlab/2015a');
set(cluster, 'OperatingSystem', 'unix');
set(cluster, 'IndependentSubmitFcn', @independentSubmitFcn);
% If you want to run communicating jobs (including parallel pools), you must specify a CommunicatingSubmitFcn
set(cluster, 'CommunicatingSubmitFcn', @communicatingSubmitFcn);
set(cluster, 'GetJobStateFcn', @getJobStateFcn);
set(cluster, 'DeleteJobFcn', @deleteJobFcn);
% create job and assign tasks to be done
j = createJob(cluster);
createTask(j, @tenfunction, 1, {'log.job1',1,2})
createTask(j, @tenfunction, 1, {'log.job2',3,4})
createTask(j, @tenfunction, 1, {'log.job3',5,6})
% submit job and gather scheduled info
submit(j)
get(cluster)
% you can now exit matlab
% at system prompt type 'bjobs'
[hmeij@swallowtail matlab]$ matlab -nodisplay

Once this is working you can also do it via a script ofcourse. Build a simple script run.serial
#!/bin/bash # submit via 'bsub < run.serial' #BSUB -q matlab #BSUB -J test #BSUB -o out #BSUB -e err /home/apps/CENTOS6/matlab/2015a/bin/matlab -nodisplay < ./myJob2015.m > /dev/null
