So, now that 2010b is the version of Matlab and we're using Lava scheduler we need to integrate the two.

• How can I integrate MATLAB Distributed Computing Server with the Lava scheduler?
• Scheduler Support in Parallel Computing Toolbox and MATLAB Distributed Computing Server
• Part 1
• Part2

In the examples below the code waits for the results. Don't do that when submitting jobs, it is just for debug purposes. Change the last 3 lines with this 'get(sched)' and then you exit Matlab interactive session.

This old way still works:

% distributed matlab jobs
% start 'matlab -nodisplay', issue the command 'newSimple'

% set up the scheduler and matlab worker environment
sched = findResource('scheduler', 'type', 'generic');
set(sched, 'HasSharedFilesystem', true);
set(sched, 'ClusterMatlabRoot', '/share/apps/matlab/2010b')
set(sched, 'SubmitFcn', @distributedSubmitFcn)   

% specify location for worker output
set(sched, 'DataLocation', '/home/hmeij/hp/matlab')

% create job and assign tasks to be done
j = createJob(sched);
T = createTask(j, @rand, 1, {{3,3} {3,3} {3,3} {3,3} {3,3}});

% submit job, wait for jobs to finish, fetch output
submit(j)
% WARNING: this may hang if the workers are busy!
waitForState(j)
results = getAllOutputArguments(j);
results{1:5}
