Matlab
What versions of Matlab are available?
The following versions and packages for Matlab are currently available and
supported by CSLab.
- Matlab 7.8 (on compute servers in /opt/matlab-78 or /opt/matlab)
- Matlab 7.7 (on compute servers in /opt/matlab-77)
- Matlab 7.6 (on compute servers in /opt/matlab-76-64)
- Matlab 7.5 (on compute servers in /opt/matlab-75-64)
- Matlab 7.4 (on compute servers in /opt/matlab-74-64)
Note that the most recent version that is installed on the compute
servers will always be found in /opt/matlab. If /opt/matlab/bin is
not in your path use the full path /opt/matlab/bin/matlab to run
matlab. Both the 32 bit and 64 bit binaries were installed for version
7.7. Matlab will by default choose the 64 bit binaries on the comps
servers.
We have the following licenses available for use. Please note that
in some cases these licenses have been purchased by specific research groups,
and if you use them you are denying the owners access to them. If you are
unsure whether or not you should be using a particular toolbox, please
email your POC.

Where should I run Matlab?
Matlab as provided by CSLab is only available on the
compute servers. Matlab is a heavyweight
application, so please think about how others may be affected when you run
it. If your Matlab jobs will be running for a long time, you should consider
using the 'screen' application to help monitor your jobs and reduce the
chances of unexpected termination. 'man screen' should provide you with
enough information to get started. For a list of the appropriate compute
servers, please see CSLab Compute
Servers.
Purchasing Matlab
If you wish to have a personal copy of Matlab, to run on your laptop or
some other machine not administered by CSLab,
you (or your supervisor) may have to buy a copy. But contact
your POC first to check.
You can get a

Matlab Tips
- matlab -h lists the available options.
- matlab -nodesktop starts matlab
without starting the matlab desktop. The current window is used for commands.
- matlab -r matlab_command starts matlab and executes the
matlab_command.
