MATLAB: Matlabpool hangs on local scheduler for PCT 5.2 with Internet active Internet connection

Question

I'm trying to run my 1st PCT script. The entire script is:

matlabpool open local 4
c=zeros(1000,4);
parfor i=1:4,
    c(:,i)=eig(rand(1000));
end
matlabpool CLOSE;

When I start this script it hangs on matlabpool. What's wrong here?

Answer 1

If you run the Configuration Validator (Parallel menu, manage configurations, select "local", and validate it), does it validate successfully?

Also, if you look st the processes running on your machine, do additional MATLAB processes start?

Beyond that, please contact support. There should really be nothing "extra" to do to make the local scheduler work.
