Parallel Computing Toolbox™

Running pmode on a Cluster

When you run pmode on a cluster of labs, you are running a job that is much like any other parallel job, except it is interactive. Many of the job's properties are determined by a configuration. For more details about creating and using configurations, see Programming with User Configurations.

The general form of the command to start a pmode session is

pmode start <config-name> <num-labs>

where <config-name> is the name of the configuration you want to use, and <num-labs> is the number of labs you want to run the pmode job on. If <num-labs> is omitted, the number of labs is determined by the configuration. Coordinate with your system administrator when creating or using a configuration.

If you omit <config-name>, pmode uses the default configuration (see the defaultParallelConfig reference page).

For details on all the command options, see the pmode reference page.
