• Who administers your cluster?
The person administering your cluster might have a preference for how
jobs are scheduled.
Components on Mixed Platforms or Heterogeneous
Clusters
Parallel Comp u t in g T o ol bo x sof twa re and MATL AB Distributed Co m puting
Server software are supported on Windows, UNIX
®
(including Linux
®
), and
Macintosh operating systems. Mixed platforms are supported, so that the
clients, MJS, and workers do not have to be on the same platform. The cluster
can also be comprised of both 32-bit and 64-bit machines, so long as your data
does not exceed the limitations posed by the 32-bit systems.
For a complete listing of all netw ork requirements, including t h ose for
heterogeneous environments, see the System Requirem ents page for MATLAB
Distributed Computing Server software at
http://www.mathworks.com/products/distriben/requirements.h tml
In a mixed platform environment, be sure to follow the proper installation
instructions for each local machine on which you are installing the software.
mdce Service
If you are using the MJS, every machine that hosts a worker or M JS session
must also run the mdce service.
The mdce service recovers worker and MJS sessions when their host machines
crash. If a worker or MJS machine crashes, when mdce starts up again
(usually configured to start at machine boot time), it automatically restarts
the MJS and w orker sessions to resume their sessions from before the system
crash.
