Solution:

NOTE: For the Distributed Computing Toolbox 3.1 (R2007a) and later releases, refer to the sample integration scripts and instructions located at:

$MATLABROOT\toolbox\distcomp\examples\integration\sge

where $MATLABROOT is the MATLAB root directory as returned by executing the following at the MATLAB prompt:
matlabroot
The Generic Scheduler Interface documentation which can be found by executing:

web([docroot '/toolbox/distcomp/bqur7ev-35.html'],'-helpbrowser')

For releases prior to MATLAB 7.4 (R2007a), read the following:

NOTE: The information below is a starting point for configuring the integration. SGE has not been fully qualified.

A requirement for the integration to work is that the cluster computers and the desktop computers have access to a shared file system.

The following information attached to this solution will help get you started with the integration:

1. gensched.pdf - Documentation for the interface of Distributed Computing Toolbox with 3rd party schedulers like SGE.

2. submitFunc.m and workerDecodeFunc.m - M files for Distributed Computing Toolbox integration. You will need to modify line 90 of submitFunc.m to use the path on your machine.

3. submit - UNIX shell script called by submitFunc.m

4. session.txt - Sample MATLAB commands to create and submit jobs using SGE. You will need to use the ClusterMatlabRoot that applies to your own machine.
