MATLAB Parallel Server

Scheduler Support in Parallel Computing Toolbox and MATLAB Parallel Server

The scheduler interface provided by MathWorks parallel computing products is at the software level, providing engineers and scientists an interface to submit jobs to computation resources without having to be concerned with differences in operating systems, environments, and schedulers. The infrastructure allows administrators to integrate MathWorks parallel computing products with existing scheduler environments at the application layer.

MATLAB Parallel Server™ includes a MATLAB® job scheduler and support for other schedulers. See the following table for details.
