qsubfunc

Launching MATLAB processes from MATLAB under a Unix cluster grid.

qsubfunc is a MATLAB function that can submit jobs on the queue system of a Sun Grid Engine (cluster do not have to be made of Sun machines though). After openning a MATLAB session, users can submit as many MATLAB jobs as they want.

The MATLAB jobs can call plotting functions (redirected to the user X-server automatically (see qsubfunc options)). The MATLAB jobs (usually standard function calls) can return values in the local MATLAB session (all information are passed through data files). While the jobs are running, the user can still run commands on the local MATLAB session (though this has to be done through the qsubfunc editing window).
