Start MATLAB worker session
startworker
startworker -flags
startworker starts a MATLAB® worker
process under the mdce service, which maintains it after that. The
worker registers with the specified job manager, from which it will
get tasks for evaluation. The mdce service must already be running
on the specified computer.
The startworker executable resides in the
folder matlabroot\toolbox\distcomp\binmatlabroot/toolbox/distcomp/bin
startworker accepts
the following input flags. Multiple flags can be used together on
the same command, except where noted.-flags
| Flag | Operation |
|---|---|
-name <worker_name> | Specifies the name of the MATLAB worker. The default is
the value of the DEFAULT_WORKER_NAME parameter
in the mdce_def file. |
-remotehost <hostname> | Specifies the name of the computer where you want to start the MATLAB worker. If omitted, the worker is started on the local computer. |
-jobmanager <job_manager_name> | Specifies the name of the job manager this MATLAB worker
will receive tasks from. The default is the value of the DEFAULT_JOB_MANAGER_NAME parameter
in the mdce_def file. |
-jobmanagerhost <job_manager_hostname> | Specifies the host on which the job manager is running. The worker contacts the job manager lookup process on that host to register with the job manager. This overrides the setting
of |
-clean | Deletes all checkpoint information associated with this worker name before starting. |
-baseport <port_number> | Specifies the base port that the mdce service on the remote
host is using. You only need to specify this if the value of BASE_PORT in
the local mdce_def file does not match the base
port being used by the mdce service on the remote host. |
-v | Verbose mode displays the progress of the command execution. |
Start a worker on the local host, using the default worker name,
registering with the job manager MyJobManager on
the host JMHost.
startworker -jobmanager MyJobManager -jobmanagerhost JMHost
Start a worker on the host WorkerHost, using
the default worker name, and registering with the job manager MyJobManager on
the host JMHost. (The following command should
be entered on a single line.)
startworker -jobmanager MyJobManager -jobmanagerhost JMHost
-remotehost WorkerHostStart two workers, named worker1 and worker2,
on the host WorkerHost, registering with the job
manager MyJobManager that is running on the host JMHost.
Note that to start two workers on the same computer, you must give
them different names. (Each of the two commands below should be entered
on a single line.)
startworker -name worker1 -remotehost WorkerHost
-jobmanager MyJobManager -jobmanagerhost JMHost
startworker -name worker2 -remotehost WorkerHost
-jobmanager MyJobManager -jobmanagerhost JMHost
