Run Script as Batch Job from the Current Folder Browser

From the Current Folder browser, you can run a MATLAB® script as a batch job by browsing to the file’s folder, right-clicking the file, and selecting Run Script as Batch Job. The batch job runs on the cluster identified by the default cluster profile. The following figure shows the menu option to run the script file script1.m:

Running a script as a batch from the browser uses only one worker from the cluster. So even if the script contains a parfor loop or spmd block, it does not open an additional pool of workers on the cluster. These code blocks execute on the single worker used for the batch job. If your batch script requires opening an additional pool of workers, you can run it from the command line, as described in Run a Batch Parallel Loop.

When you run a batch job from the browser, this also opens the Job Monitor. The Job Monitor is a tool that lets you track your job in the scheduler queue. For more information about the Job Monitor and its capabilities, see Job Monitor.
