Description:
It seems that the number of job using matlab that can run in parallel on the clusters is limited. When I try to launch more than about 100 matlab jobs some jobs remain pending with license reason untill previous job end. Is there a way of getting rid of this limitation?
Dear @Nicolas.Cuny
This doc should interest you

The idea of compiling Matlab code is to save on licenses usage. Indeed, once compiled, a Matlab code can be run without using any license.
Thank you very much for your answer. I compiled my Matlab code and tried to run the resulting executable with the following command:
./run.sh args
but it appears that before the arguments of my function (args) I need to give to the executable the path where Matlab is installed on the cluster but I don’t find this path, could you tell me what is the path?
Thank you very much
The path depends of the version, but with the command which you can easily get it:
(baobab)-[alberta@login1 ~]$ ml MATLAB/2022a
(baobab)-[alberta@login1 ~]$ which matlab
/opt/ebsofts/MATLAB/2022a/bin/matlab
