Using MATLAB® Distributed Computing Server™

MATLAB and Simulink users interact with MATLAB Distributed Computing Server through Parallel Computing Toolbox. The toolbox is installed on each user's workstation and provides necessary constructs for creating parallel applications in MATLAB. The MATLAB Distributed Computing Server is installed on a computer cluster and provides a number of workers (MATLAB computational engines that run independently of client sessions) to execute code submitted by users through the toolbox. Multiple users can launch applications on the cluster simultaneously.

Users have the option of running four workers on their multicore or multiprocessor desktops using the toolbox alone, without submitting a job to the cluster.

Users can either initiate an interactive session for application prototyping and development or construct and submit jobs for batch execution. In both cases, users continue to work in the familiar MATLAB environment.
