Batch inside a Batch

Hi everyone, I am interesting in check the performance of a program by using different cores in a cluster. To submit my function to de cluster I write something like: job= batch('my_script','matlabpool',8)

and in my_script I have something like job=batch('other_script','matlabpool',5)

but I do not obtain and answer from the cluster because it is too much long or maybe it structure is not allow.

Do someone know a more effective way?

Thanks in advance. Rafa

The question is not clear. What is "too long" and how could a performance be measured, when "a structure is not allowed"? Doesn't this mean, that the program crashes?

Answer 1

It seems like you are not allowed to change the pool size on the cluster. You can see the effect of the number of cores by changing the allocated workers in a parallel for loop like this

parfor(i=1:100,W)

and then you change W to the number of workers (cores/threads) you want to test
