Since the second semester of 2014, MATLAB has become available in the HPC cluster on campus, known as Rhasatsha.
The Engineering Faculty Board has kindly agreed to sponsor the purchase of a MATLAB Distributed Compute Server (MDCS) license for 16 MATLAB workers (version R2014a). This facility allows computational jobs, written in MATLAB, to be run in the HPC cluster in a manner of ways. Those of you familiar with MATLAB will find the facility quite friendly.
If you have MATLAB installed on your PC or laptop, you will require also the Parallel Compute Toolbox, in order to access the MDCS on Rhasatsha from your MATLAB client session on your PC or laptop. Interactive, as well as non-interactive jobs are supported.
In particular, when you have a highly parallel application, MDCS provides support for up to 16 concurrent threads to run, speeding up execution. The MDCS configuration has been prepared by Dr J P Barnard of Process Engineering, and Mr Charl Moller of IT.

Sedert die tweede semester van 2014 is MATLAB beskikbaar op kampus in die HPC cluster, genaamd Rhasatsha.
Die fakulteitsraad van Ingenieurswese het goedgunstiglik ingestem om die aankoop van ‘n MATLAB Distributed Compute Server (MDCS) lisensie vir 16 MATLAB werkers te borg (weergawe R2014a). Hierdie fasiliteit laat die gebruiker toe om rekentake, wat in MATLAB geskryf is, op verskeie maniere in die HPC cluster te loop.
Diegene wat met MATLAB bekend is, sal vind dat die fasiliteit heel gebruikervriendelik is. Indien jy MATLAB op jou PC of skootrekenaar het, benodig jy daarby ook die Parallel Compute Toolbox ten einde MDCS op Rhasatsha vanaf jou MATLAB sessie op jou PC of skootrekenaar te bereik. Interaktiewe, sowel as nie-interaktiewe take word ondersteun.
In besonder verskaf MDCS ondersteuning vir hoogsparallelle toepassings by wyse van tot 16 gelyklopende werker threads, wat verwerking bespoedig. Die MDCS opstelling is voorberei deur dr J P Barnard van Prosesingenieurswese en mnr Charl Moller van IT.
