Running the MATLAB graphical interface

Running the MATLAB command line without graphics
To use the MATLAB command-line interface without graphics, you can request a
compute node, load the MATLAB module, and then use the -nodisplay and
-nosplash options:
matlab -nodisplay -nosplash
This will work on both Windows and Mac platforms. To quit the MATLAB command-line interface, type:
exit
MATLAB in batch jobs
To use MATLAB in your batch jobs, you can use the -r switch provided by
MATLAB, which lets you run commands specified on the command-line. For example:
matlab -nodisplay -nosplash -r myscript
will run the MATLAB script myscript.m, Or:
matlab -nodisplay -nosplash < myscript.m > myscript_results.txt
will run the MATLAB script myscript.m and write the output to
myscript_results.txt file. Thus, an example batch job using MATLAB could have
a batch script as follows:
Please wait, retrieving
job.slurm from Globus...The test MATLAB script is:
