New documentation for using MATLAB in parallel

February 1, 2021
Updated: March 4, 2021


New CISL documentation is now available to help users leverage MATLAB’s Parallel Computing Toolbox and Parallel Server to speed up their computations on the Cheyenne system. The toolbox enables single-node parallelism, while the server enables parallelism across nodes.


Some setup is required to correctly and optimally use these capabilities on Cheyenne. The documentation shows how to configure parallel clusters and obtain worker counts from information in the PBS job environment. The instructions are valid for MATLAB R2020a and newer versions.
