parallel.defaultClusterProfile

Examine or set default cluster profile

Syntax

p = parallel.defaultClusterProfile
oldprofile = parallel.defaultClusterProfile(newprofile)

Description

p = parallel.defaultClusterProfile returns the name of the default cluster profile.

oldprofile = parallel.defaultClusterProfile(newprofile) sets the default profile to be newprofile and returns the previous default profile. It might be useful to keep the old profile so that you can reset the default later.

If the default profile has been deleted, or if it has never been set, parallel.defaultClusterProfile returns 'local' as the default profile.

You can save modified profiles with the saveProfile or saveAsProfile method on a cluster object. You can create, delete, import, and modify profiles with the Cluster Profile Manager, accessible from the MATLAB desktop Home tab Environment area by selecting Parallel > Manage Cluster Profiles.

Examples

Display the names of all available profiles and set the first in the list to be the default.

allProfiles = parallel.clusterProfiles
parallel.defaultClusterProfile(allProfiles{1});

First set the profile named 'MyProfile' to be the default, and then set the profile named 'Profile2' to be the default.

parallel.defaultClusterProfile('MyProfile');
oldDefault = parallel.defaultClusterProfile('Profile2');
strcmp(oldDefault,'MyProfile') % returns true
