[Condor-users] Matlab Compiler and Condor under Windows

[Tobias Pingel <t.pingel@xxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

I recently installed Matlab on my Central manager and "just" Condor on 
the client nodes. To implement a distributed Matlab, I just compiled the 
m-files and sent them, via the Condor network, to the clients. The 
clients need to have acces to the appropriate  Matlab environment, which 
I realised by sharing the matlab-runtime (.../win32/bin/) folder on the 
CM. With up to five nodes its working absolutely fine, but, if more 
nodes wanted to access the shared folder they got blocked.

I found a special hint in the Matlab compiler, which told me some about 
threadlocking for this environment (runtime env.). So, now I wanted to 
ask, if sombody made similar experiences.

The Matlab license on the server node is just for one workstation. Do I 
need to install a server license??

I found a way to solve this problem by installing the Matlab Component 
Runtime on each participating node, but, I want to find a solution, 
where I can use just one Matlab installation and hundreds of Condor 
equipped nodes for speeding up my applications. No use of extra Matlab 
installation (or MCR), free of licenses ... and so on.

I hope anyone can help me ;-)

With kind regards,
Tobias Pingel
