An example job submission script (matlabjob.sh) is provided below. It requests 48 processors, 190GB of memory, 400GB of local disk space for 10 2 hours in the normal queue and tells the job to mount /g/data/ab01 and /scratch/ab01 project folder into it. Within the job it passes the number of CPUs as the number of matlabWorkers and the PBS_JOBFS folder as the output directory outputDir, both of which are variables used in the matlab script mfile.m.

# Must include `#PBS -l storage=scratch/ab12+gdata/yz98` if the job
# needs access to `/scratch/ab12/` and `/g/data/yz98/`. Details on

matlab -nodisplay -nosplash -r "outputDir='$PBS_JOBFS',numberOfWorkers=$PBS_NCPUS, mfile, exit" > /g/data/ab01/$USER/job_logs/$PBS_JOBID.log

Please note, the flag -nodisplay passed to matlab enables running without the GUI, while the flag -nosplash disables the display of the Matlab logo.
