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. The cluster can be heterogeneous, but with certain limitations described at http://www.mathworks.com/products/parallel-computing/requirements.html; carefully locate your scheduler on that page and note that pmode sessions run as jobs described as "parallel applications that use inter-worker communication."
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.
