Hello,
I have recently heard of a program called Condor which can be used with Matlab to run jobs in parallel among many computers in my lab. I have downloaded the software but can't seem to set it up correctly to connect to it. I believe I need to change the configuration file "condor_config" but I'm not sure what to change in it.
I expected to set up condor and set it as my default parallel configuration in Matlab so I could send batch jobs to it and have it run on other computers. I was wondering if anyone has used Condor for this purpose before? How do I set it up as a job scheduler? Is there an easier way to do this?

Thanks,
Beau

We do ship an example integration script for connecting MDCS to Condor
in toolbox/distcomp/examples/integration/condor using the "generic
scheduler" interface. At the moment, it only covers distributed rather
than parallel jobs.

You may also find the installation guides for MDCS useful:
