MATLAB

MATLAB is a software package for performing numerical computation.

Availability

MATLAB is available for Windows (via the Software Hub) and Linux.

On the departmental Linux environment, MATLAB is available from the Education section of the desktop Application menu. It can also be launched from the terminal by loading the appropriate module:

module load matlab

Departmental cluster usage

To use MATLAB on the departmental cluster, you must run it without the GUI from your script:

matlab -nodisplay  -nosplash -nodesktop -r "myscript, quit"

If you wish to use the parallel toolbox, specify a value for the SLURM parameter --cpus-per-task greater than 1.
