RCS examples are provided to assist you in learning the software and the development of your applications on the Shared Computing Cluster (SCC). The instructions provided along with the code assume that the underlying OS is Linux. If these examples are run on a different architecture, you might need to make some changes to the code and/or the way the program is built and executed.

Featured Updates
2014a: Parallel pool syntax is changed. Use parpool instead of matlabpool. The maximum number of threads is increased to 32, which was 12 for older versions.
2017a: NVIDIA M20* GPUs (Compute capacity 2.0) are no longer supported. Use the options -l gpus=1 -l gpu_c=3.5 to request the types of GPUs that supoort MATLAB 2017a or newer.
