Step 2: Validate the Configuration
In this step you validate your cluster profile, and thereby your installation.
You can specify the number of workers to use when validating your profile. If
you do not specify the number of workers in the Validation tab, then the validation will attempt to use as many
workers as the value specified by the NumWorkers property
on the Properties tab. You can specify a
smaller number of workers to validate your configuration without occupying the
whole cluster.
If it is not already open, start the Cluster
Profile Manager from the MATLAB desktop by selecting on the
Home tab in the
Environment area Parallel > Create and Manage Clusters.
Select your cluster profile in the listing.
Click Validation
tab.
Use the checkboxes to choose all tests, or a subset
of the validation stages, and specify the number of workers to use when
validating your profile.
Click Validate.
The Validation Results tab shows the output. The following figure shows the
results of a profile that passed all validation tests.
If your validation passed, you now have a valid profile that you can use in
other parallel applications. You can make any modifications to your profile
appropriate for your applications, such as NumWorkersRange,
AttachedFiles, AdditionalPaths, etc.
To save your profile for other users, select the profile and click Export, then save your profile to a file in a convenient location. Later,
when running the Cluster Profile Manager, other users can import your profile by
clicking Import.
