No experience with Condor as "Generic Matlab Scheduler" as yet but,
as someone who has run MCR jobs on our Condor grid, I can't see why
a compiled executable, which merely needs to find a few DLLs so as to
fix up some dynamic linking at run time, and which has been submitted
to a Condor grid, would appear to the Generic Matlab Scheduler as
anything but a normal Condor job running any other executable.
It hard to postulate how the two could interact.
The standalone job using the MCR doesn't check out a licence so
what is there for the Generic Matlab Scheduler to do any bean
counting on?
It surely can't be inspecting every process to see if another one
has a "secret squirrel Matlab signature": can it ?
