Working in Batch Environments

Parallel Computing Toolbox lets you use batch environments for offline execution, enabling you to free your MATLAB client session for other activities while you execute large MATLAB and Simulink applications. You can also shut down your MATLAB client session while your application executes and retrieve results later.

The batch function lets you execute MATLAB scripts offline. It provides a mechanism for data transfer between MATLAB client and worker workspaces, which frees you from explicitly managing data in multiple workspaces.

The toolbox also provides job and task objects. These objects provide a lower-level but more general mechanism to execute parallel MATLAB applications in batch environments. Both the batch function and the job and task objects can be used to offload the execution of serial MATLAB programs from a desktop MATLAB session to a worker.

Executing MATLAB scripts offline. With the Configurations Manager, you can direct program execution to your workstation using four local workers or to a cluster using any scheduler and any number of workers. Click on image to see enlarged view.
