I have a PBS Pro/Torque cluster with MATLAB Distributing Computing Server. My Parallel Computing Toolbox clients do not share a filesystem with the cluster. I would like to know how to configure PCT to distribute work to the cluster.

Nonshared file systems are not supported by the direct PCT interface to these schedulers. However, the limitation can be worked around by using the generic scheduler interface. Some sample scripts for integration with 3rd party schedulers can be found in the following directory:

$MATLABROOT/toolbox/distcomp/examples/integration/pbs/nonshared

(where $MATLABROOT is the MATLAB folder on your machine)

Depending on your network and cluster configuration, you might need to modify these files before they will work in your setting. Ask your system administrator for help.
