parcluster

Create cluster object

Syntax

c = parcluster
c = parcluster(profile)

Description

c = parcluster returns a cluster object representing the cluster identified by the default cluster profile, with the cluster object properties set to the values defined in that profile.

c = parcluster(profile) returns a cluster object representing the cluster identified by the specified cluster profile, with the cluster object properties set to the values defined in that 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. For more information, see Discover Clusters and Use Cluster Profiles.

Examples

Find the cluster identified by the default parallel computing cluster profile, with the cluster object properties set to the values defined in that profile.

myCluster = parcluster;

View the name of the default profile and find the cluster identified by it. Open a parallel pool on the cluster.

defaultProfile = parallel.defaultClusterProfile
myCluster = parcluster(defaultProfile);
parpool(myCluster);

Find a particular cluster using the profile named 'MyProfile', and create an independent job on the cluster.

myCluster = parcluster('MyProfile');
j = createJob(myCluster);
