Attention: Research Computing Documentation has Moved
https://docs.rc.uab.edu/


Please use the new documentation url https://docs.rc.uab.edu/ for all Research Computing documentation needs.


As a result of this move, we have deprecated use of this wiki for documentation. We are providing read-only access to the content to facilitate migration of bookmarks and to serve as an historical record. All content updates should be made at the new documentation site. The original wiki will not receive further updates.

Thank you,

The Research Computing Team

This page consolidates several bits of information relevant to MatLabPool operation. The information was originally on the MatLab DCS page.

Client Firewalls

The information below was obtained from this MATLAB FAQ page.

Linux

You are running a firewall on your Linux workstation, aren't you? Good. In order for MATLAB communicate properly with the Distributed Computing Server on cheaha, you'll need to open a range of ports, specifically TCP ports 27370 thru 27470. A typical entry in an iptables firewall chain would look like the following (where 138.26.84.72 is the IP address for cheaha.uabgrid.uab.edu)

# 20100915 - Mike Hanby - MATLAB Parallel computing toolbox port range
-A INPUT -s 138.26.84.72 -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 27370:27470 -j ACCEPT
# end MATLAB

Once the firewall script has been updated, the firewall must be reloaded / restarted.
