if you can get a hand on the overpriced and underwhelming DCS (at least up to the 2016b Linux variant the mdce service neither has startup scripts with LSB tags, nor systemd units; only the very first annoyance), the following might be a consolation: " Access to all eligible licensed toolboxes or blocksets with a single server license on the distributed computing resource " https://www.mathworks.com/products/distriben/features.html (We currently use DCS without Slurm integration and thous are bad citizens considering the license pool we have to share. But running DCS without scheduler integration is bad in many ways. e.g. proper security levels don't cooperate with plain LDAP, default security runs job as root [hello, inaccessible NFS shares] so it seems users either start single node parallel jobs apart from DCS or DCS-Slurm integration is mandatory and you get all the benefits -- license count, security level, multi-node) Regards, Benjamin -- FSU Jena | JULIELab.de/Staff/Benjamin+Redling.html vox: +49 3641 9 44323 | fax: +49 3641 9 44321
