Where to Store Them

Either use addpath or unzip from ~/matlab (folder where startup.m resides) for access from any user folder.

Types of MATLAB Batch Jobs

  1. Running Serial (single-core) MATLAB Batch Jobs
    scc1$ qsub ./mbatch
  2. Running Parallel (multicore) MATLAB Batch Jobs
    scc1$ qsub -pe omp 4 ./run_matlab_pct_job
  3. Running Pre-compiled MATLAB code (needs no licenses)
    scc1$ qsub ./run_standalone_job
    More details are available in How To Create & Run MATLAB Standalone Executable.

  4. Running Implicitly Parallel (multithreaded) MATLAB Batch Jobs 
    scc1$ qsub -pe omp 12 ./wnbatch
    scc1$ qsub -pe omp 7 ./pnbatch
