Hi,
I have a couple of queries about Distributed Computing Server (DCS). Let's say I have a cluster with 2 nodes. Each node has 8 cores and is running the Parallel Toolbox of MATLAB. If I need these 2 nodes to compute together, I understand that I need DCS. My question is do I need a DCS worker per core or per node? Can my client nodes running Parallel toolbox also act as a server or do I need a completely separate cluster for running DCS?

Thanks.
