traine: The first user starts an interactive session with qlogin. The plan is to run a Matlab script, which is expected to take about 30 minutes. Thus the Matlab environment is set via VALET and the job started using nohup and nodisplay. There is a plot produced at the end of the run, but this is exported to a file. This allows traine to exit the compute node and leave the job running.dnairn: The second user plans to start a Matlab desktop (GUI mode) and occasional run a computational intensive Matlab function in the command Window on the Matlab desktop. Normal activity in the desktop is not computationally intensive.
Both users are assigned the same compute node, n015. Since there are 24 cores on node 'n015', we may expect both jobs to run without any slowing down. There should be enough cores to handle two Matlab jobs, but his is not entirely true.
Matlab tries to run as fast as possible on the compute node, with no regard for any other users on the system. We plan to monitor Matlab useage of the 24 cores on node n015.
For reference, we ran this script as the only MATLAB job on the node.

User traine has a Matlab script to run, which should take about 20 minutes to complete. It loops through 12 function calls, averages the results and the plots the values and average (exporting to a png file.) The Matlab tic and toc commands are used to report the Elapsed time for the loop. The script was executed using the time UNIX comand.

This was done concurrently with some activity from user dnairn.
The Elapsed time reported by tic/toc was close the real time - 1191.00 vs 1198.11. We will take the time reported by Matlab and compare with the times reported in the interactive session. We will take the CPU time on all cores during the loop as the usage time diminished by the extra time spent outside the loop.
User dnairn starts an interactive GUI Matlab with the command
matlab
On the Matlab desktop dnairn, does the typical activity of looking and help files and editing a function. This function uses builtin Matlab routines and will take about 90 seconds to complete one call. Thus the activity is minutes for relatively light CPU activity with occasional heavy activity for a minute to two.
