Back to all things Hoffman2

MATLAB is not a small program and it can handle some fairly complex graphics. As such, this is not something suitable to be used on a login node of Hoffman2. But that's already been thought of by the great people at ATS.

To run a full GUI session of MATLAB, execute

$ matlab

That's it, no flags, no frills, nothing else. Hoffman2 will automatically check out an appropriate interactive node for you to run MATLAB on. All you have to do is provide a time limit (in hours) when they ask you

Enter a time limit for your session, in hours (default 2)
<or quit>: 

If you don't need the fancy GUI and just want the command line, execute

$ matlab -nodesktop

and then supply a time limit when asked.

Since this uses interactive nodes, the maximum time limit you can request is 24 hours.
