MATLAB SoftwareΒΆ

MATLAB is a programming and numeric computing platform developed and distributed by Mathworks

CRC users can access this software by means of the module loading system on the cluster, or via MATLAB Remote Job Submission.

The most recent MATLAB version available on CRC is R2023a.

See the instructions on accessing VIZ for an example of opening MATLAB on those machines.

There are also specific instructions for using MATLAB via Open OnDemand. See the MATLAB section under GUI Apps.

To use MATLAB on the CRC clusters, you do not need to purchase an annual research license.

PIs should indicate whether users created under their allocation require access to MATLAB.

Note

When you are launching Matlab for the first time, a new cache will be built which could take up to five minutes before Matlab is ready for use. All subsequent launches should be a lot faster. Please also make sure that your home as well as the local launch directory have sufficient storage space.

The Remote Job Submission method allows for users to submit MATLAB jobs directly to the clusters from a locally installed copy of MATLAB or from VIZ. This is facilitated by Matlab Parallel Server.

This method is great for less experience users who are not as comfortable with the command line or for users who are having issues with resource intensive processing jobs completing successfully on their local machine or VIZ.
