Thread Subject: PARFOR Compilation

Hi!

ive written a code which uses par for and simplifies alot what i m doing.
Im trying now to compile it and there is not much written in plain English...
In the Configurations Manager i created a jobmanager (though i have no idea what that is) cause i cannot use local in compilations since its a matlab service. On top of this i slightly changed the input "pool filling" by typing
defaultParallelConfig('Myconfig'); instead of the original matlabpool('open')
i exported the jobmanager.mat file although inside in the Jobmanager hostname i HAD NO IDEA what to write , i wrote a poem for starts...
Any help please on parfor compilations and jobmanager setups?
Agou thx

Hi,

As you note, you can not run use a local scheduler from a compiled
application. To use the parallel computing functionality from a compiled
application you need a cluster that is running MATLAB Distributed
Computing Server (see http://www.mathworks.com/products/distriben/).
The cluster needs to be running a scheduler - the jobmanager is a simple
scheduler that is included with MATLAB Distributed Computing Server -
other schedulers are also supported.

If you have a cluster, you can create a configuration for it - the
cluster's administrators should be able help with this - they will know
what needs to be entered into the Configuration Manager.

This configuration can then be exported from the Configuration Manager
and used by your compiled application.

Thanks,

OK, i got a bit serious and setup the admincenter with the local mdce's in my home network and i "saw" more green workers... i also extracted the scheduler of matlab and it seems all well. When i do the diagnostics all turn green!
When i try to run the matlabpool open it brings up multiple workers (6 cores in two computers)
I compiled it and extracted the sceduler settings all fine!!!
i m having butterflies in my stomache... tomorrow i ll go buy a computer with 8 processors and do my stochastic drift monte carlo... with sugar on top.!!!
