Some use cases describing how to offload MATLAB computation to the cluster.

== Use MATLAB on a compute node via VNC ==

This entails running a MATLAB client (GUI) via VNC on a compute node on [[Cheaha]].

This is a typical use case in the following scenarios 
# Computation needs to be offloaded to a compute node on the cluster to free the user's desktop for development
# Computation is too large to be performed on the user's desktop and needs more resources

The vnc session needs to be setup in two stages as described in [[Setting_Up_VNC_Session]].

It will open a vnc window with a terminal on the cheaha.

To portforward and login to a compute node use the following command from the terminal in the vnc session
<pre>
$ qlogin -l vf=memory,h_rt=hr:min:sec
</pre>

Load the mathworks module and start matlab 
<pre>$ module load mathworks/R2012a 
$ matlab
</pre>
MATLAB will now start interactively in the VNC session and is running on the compute node on Cheaha.
