[Condor-users] MATLAB cluster vs. condor scheduling

[Marian Zvada <zvada@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

has anyone tried using condor as Generic Scheduler Interface for Matlab?

http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/distcomp/bqur7ev-35.html

Currently we are using dedicated resources for matlab cluster in order 
to serve dfeval jobs which are specific to some users. On the other 
hand, we have dedicated condor cluster for rest of the users submitting 
c/c++ jobs and simple matlab binaries which can be processed on any 
worker on the cluster.

License-wise, it would probably make sense to compile Matlab scripts and 
to run them as ordinary Condor vanilla jobs requiring only Matlab 
Runtime - is this possible to do when using Condor as Generic Matlab 
Scheduler?
Is there any known recipe we could use to host dfeval functionality 
towards condor cluster and run users matlab binaries fully along condor 
scheduling mechanism? Or allow users redirect dfeval submission directly 
from matlab to condor pool?

Point is, we are aiming to merge all cpu resources behind one cluster 
topology and we'd like to provide transparency for dfeval matlab users 
in moving their jobs to common infrastructure. Would the idea above make 
sense and what should we account in order to develop/deploy such a 
environment?

If you have any experience/suggestion which would help us choose right 
direction, it's most than welcome in advance!

Thanks,
Marian
