Great, I think here is some useful information about the decode function!
I got the following error after starting /local/matlab/bin/worker on a computing node:

Error converting the environement variable MDCE_DECODE_FUNCTION to a function handle.
This is probably because the environement variable (MDCE_DECODE_FUNCTION) does not exist.
The MDCE_DECODE_FUNCTION variable's current value is ""
Error returned was:
Invalid function name ''
Killed
--------------------------------
So I thinks that's very good to know and I should check the setting of the variable MDCE_DECODE_FUNCTION in the sgeSubmitFcn.m, right?!?
