Cluster Matlab Job Submission

To submit either a simple or complex job to the FSU Matlab DCE, you call the same function:

fsuClusterMatlab

This function is a customized wrapper that will setup the Matlab environment based on a number of arguments (at the Matlab prompt, type "help fsuClusterMatlab"):

>> help fsuClusterMatlab
  Setup jobs to run on the FSU cluster Matlab Distributed 
  Computing Engine (DCE) FSUCLUSTERMATLAB(outputdir, 
  moabopts, jobtype, waitforresults, numworkers, jobfunc, ...
  jobfuncargs) returns the results of the job as a cell and 
  takes optional arguments of:
 
    outputdir       = Directory to store output and intermediate 
                      files. Defaults to current directory.
                      E.g., '~/matlab/jobs' format allowed.
    moabopts        = Options to pass to moab, i.e., walltime 
                      (defaults to 10 days), queue, qos, etc.
                      E.g., '-l walltime=4:00:00, -l qos=coaps_high' 
    jobtype         = (s)imple, (p)ool arallel, (m)pi parallel
                      Defaults to (s)imple (multiple separate jobs)
                      (p)ool parallel is the matlabpool that allows the 
                      use of parfor loops (m)pi parallel can harness 
                      the labindex/labnumber functionality
    waitforresults  = (w)ait or (n)owait
                      Defaults to waitForState which blocks execution in
                      the client session until the job finishes (results
                      are returned) or fails.
    numworkers      = Number of separate matlab workers to
                      start (cpus). Defaults to 1.
    jobfunc         = The matlab function to pass to the DCE.
    jobfuncargs     = The (optional) input arguments to your jobfunc.
 
  The Matlab session must be invoked with the jvm to work correctly.
