Here is my code:

clear;
clc;
v_temp1 = zeros(2,2);

A = [4 2 ; 2 4];
M_matrix = [1 1 ; 1 1];
C = A * M_matrix

Interestingly i get segmentation fault whenever i fire this code on a CPU cluster, but it ofcourse runs well on my local machine. I am sure there is some setup issue, but don't know what...
Another thing is that when i replace the multiplication operator with addition/subtraction, it works... 

Here is the error that i am getting..
