MATLAB Tasks
How to submit non-interactive MATLAB scripts to the queues
See the MATLAB page for details on selecting MATLAB versions, compilation and using compilation runtimes.
For non-interactive MATLAB, it is more efficient to compile your code (see the MATLAB page).
Any non-interactive MATLAB task needs to be submitted by creating a file (typically with the extension '.m'), eg 'myfile.m' with all your MATLAB commands in and submit it using 'fsl_sub'; once the task is running you can look at the file "matlab.o<jobid>" for any output.
fsl_sub -q short.q matlab -singleCompThread -nodisplay -nosplash \< mytask.m
NB The "\" is very important since MATLAB won't read your script otherwise.
Warning: MATLAB tasks will often attempt to carry out some operations using multiple threads. Our cluster is configured to run only single thread programs unless you request multiple threads. SLURM will enforce these limits so preventing MATLAB from overloading the system.
If you wish to take advantage of the multi-threaded facilities in MATLAB request multiple cores with the -s option to fsl_sub.
Where you must interact with the process see the section on the MATLAB gui within the VDI.
