CCS Toolbox

Interfaces Matlab to the Microsoft Compute Cluster Server via XML

The CCS Toolbox for Matlab is a simple interface from Matlab to the Microsoft Compute Cluster Server. It allows job submissions from the Matlab environment.

The jobs are described entirely as Matlab data structures.

Example:

% create a job and assign a name
j = ccsjob;
j.Name = 'My CCS job';
j.Project = j.Name;

% create a task and assign name, execute command, and work directory:
t = ccstask;
t.Name = 'mytask';
t.CommandLine = 'run.bat';
t.WorkDirectory = '\\cluster\myfolder';

% assign task to job
j.Tasks(1) = t;

% write job to xml submission file
jobfilename = 'myjobsubmission.xml';
ccs_create_submission_file(j, jobfilename);

% submit job to CCS cluster
clusterHeadNode = 'cluster-hn';
system(['job submit /exclusive:false /jobfile:', jobfilename, ' /scheduler:', clusterHeadNode]);
