Matlab, and its free, mostly-compatible, alternative Octave are becoming more and more suitable for cluster computing with the rise of parallel computing toolboxes and/or syntactical constructs. The session explores the many was Matlab code can be parallelised and submitted to a cluster (taking into account the tough problem of licensing).
Contents: Using Matlab in Batch Mode The matlab compiler The Octave alternative Implicit multithreading Explicit multithreading/processing Matlab and the MPI	Prerequisite: Being able to use SSH with private keys  Being familiar with a text editor  Mastering the Linux command line and the GNU utilities (mkdir, cp, scp, etc.) Working knowledge of Matlab/Octave Type: Hands-on Target audience: Confirmed Matlab user Must: This session is a must-have for anyone who wonders why Matlab is not installed on the CÉCI clusters.
