Colloquium 2023 Running MATLAB on Alliance's Clusters

MATLAB has been one of the major software used on Alliance's clusters. In this webinar we will talk about the current status of MATLAB, license issues, job files, standard serial and parallel job scripts, etc. We will discuss the parallel computing approaches with Parallel Computing Toolbox (PCT) including parfor for parallelizing "for loops", and spmd for parallelizing tasks, and the step-by-step procedure to use MATLAB Compiler and Runtime libraries (MCR) on the clusters with examples. The goal of this webinar is to show how one can run MATLAB efficiently on the clusters.
