To submit a Matlab batch job on the Quarry cluster at Indiana University, create an m-file with the commands for Matlab to run (e.g., matlab_input.m). Then write a script file (e.g., matlab_job) for TORQUE (also called PBS), the resource manager on Quarry, as follows:

#!/bin/bash #PBS -k o #PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=1,walltime=30:00 #PBS -M username@indiana.edu #PBS -m abe #PBS -N JobName #PBS -o matlab_output #PBS -e matlab_error matlab -r matlab_input

Note: If you are not working in the default directory (i.e., /N/u/username/Quarry), you need to change the directory in the script (e.g., cd /N/u/username/Quarry/new) and matlab_input (e.g., '~/new/') files.

To submit the script file to TORQUE, enter:

$qsub matlab_job

The default queue is the LONG queue. For more on queues and how to specify them, see What is TORQUE/PBS?

To check the status of your job, use either the qstat or showq command. After the job is executed, you will receive an email confirmation.

For more information about statistical and mathematical software, email the UITS Stat/Math Center, visit the center's web page, or phone 812-855-4724 (IUB) or 317-278-4740 (IUPUI). The center is located in Bloomington at 410 N. Park Avenue, and is open for consultation by appointment Monday-Friday 9am-5pm.
