If you know your Matlab application is neither computation nor data intensive, please see the advice in the section 'Running Single-core Jobs'. |
Once get the access to the matlab license on Gadi, please confirm with your institution that whether the license comes with either of the features 'Parallel Computing Toolbox' and 'Distributed Computing Server'. Although some linear algebra and numerical functions, such as matrix products, fft, eig, sort, are implicitly multi-threaded and make use of all the cores available to the job without any extra programming efforts, see an incomplete list provided by Mathworks Support Team here, the majority of the functions provided by matlab runs only on a single core and users need to explicitly use the functionalities provided by these two features to enable the utilisation of multi-cores and multi-compute nodes, respectively. As of 30 Oct 2020, the majority of NCI-hosted matlab licenses provides only the feature Parallel Computing Toolbox, therefore, supports jobs running only within a single compute node.

To get access to your own institution provided Matlab licence, join the corresponding software group in the table below on my.nci.org.au first. Once your group membership request is approved, the corresponding licence module becomes visible to use. Run `module avail matlab` to see the license modulefile name. Jobs need to load the license module together with the application module to run Matlab.
