What I simply want to do is compile code using a parfor loop and have it run on a single computer. I've learned that compiled code cannot use the local configuration even though I have the Parallel Computing Toolbox and the Distributed Computing Server. I don't know how to use the configurations manager to make the proper configuration mat file to load.

Jon, you need to set up a cluster on your computer - see the "Set up a
cluster" link on this page: <<http://www.mathworks.com/support/product/DM/
installation/ver_current/>>.Choose to use the "MathWorks Job Manager" as
the scheduler - this is provided with your MATLAB Distributed Computing
Server installation.

Once you have set up the job manager follow these instructions <<http://
www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/distcomp/
f5-16141.html#f5-16540>> to define a new jobmanager configuration that
identifies the cluster you have just set up. It's a good idea to validate
the configuration at this point to verify you have set it up correctly.

You can then export this configuration to a MAT file. This is the MAT
file you must provide to your compiled application via the
ParallelConfigurationFile MCR userdata.

Thanks,
