MATLAB: What are the system requirements for using the MATLAB Parallel Server

As of MATLAB R2006b, Parallel Computing Toolbox (PCT) and MATLAB Parallel Server directly support Platform LSF. As a result, the products can be used in most compute environments managed by Platform LSF without any extra setup.

These configurations are only supported under the following conditions:

- The submission client has the LSF binaries installed

- The submission client has the same platform as the LSF cluster

- The client's workspace is located on a shared filesystem that is accessible to the cluster

For configurations that do not meet this requirement, it may still be possible to use LSF as the submission scheduler using the generic scheduler interface. This configuration is outlined in the related solution "How can I use the MATLAB Parallel Server products with the LSF scheduler in a nonshared file system?"
