This section discusses the requirements and conÞgurations for your network
to support parallel computing.
Before You Start
Before attempting to install Parallel Computing Toolbox software and
MATLAB Distributed Computing Server software, read Chapter 1,
“Introduction” to familiarize yourself with the concepts and vocabulary of
the products.
Planning Your Network Layout
Generally, it is easy to decide which machines will run worker processes and
which will run client processes. Worker sessions usually run on the cluster of
machines dedicated to that purpose. The MATLAB client session usually runs
where MATLAB programs are run, often on a user’s desktop.
The job manager process should run on a stable machine, with adequate
resources to manage the number of tasks and amount of data expected in
your parallel computing applications.
The following table shows what products and processes are needed for each of
these roles in the parallel computing conÞguration.
