Re: [Condor-users] MATLAB cluster vs. condor scheduling

["Berg, Allen" <aberg@xxxxxxxx>]

We actually have a small cluster of 13 computers running RH Low Latency
scheduling.  We also are running the jobs in a compiled mode for the
licensing reasons.  

If I remember right it was going to be in the 100k range to get a
license for each cpu.  Which made the effort cost prohibitive.

No experience with Condor as "Generic Matlab Scheduler" as yet but,
as someone who has run MCR jobs on our Condor grid, I can't see why
a compiled executable, which merely needs to find a few DLLs so as to
fix up some dynamic linking at run time, and which has been submitted
to a Condor grid, would appear to the Generic Matlab Scheduler as
anything but a normal Condor job running any other executable.

It hard to postulate how the two could interact.

The standalone job using the MCR doesn't check out a licence so
what is there for the Generic Matlab Scheduler to do any bean
counting on?

It surely can't be inspecting every process to see if another one
has a "secret squirrel Matlab signature": can it ?
