Using MATLAB

Members of the University can use MATLAB, see:

• https://www.rrz.uni-hamburg.de/services/software/software-thematisch/software-alpha/matlab

However, on Hummel-2 only standalone binaries generated mit the MATLAB compiler can be executed.

Example

On your computer where you have MATLAB installed:

• store a hello-world-program in hello_world.m

    pc$ cat hello_world.m
    disp('Hello, MATLAB World!');

• compile hello_world.m (which will generate an executable called hello_world)

    pc$ mcc -m hello_world.m

• copy hello_world to Hummel-2

On Hummel-2:

• load the matlab-runtime Module that matches the MATLAB version installed on your computer

    hummel2-front1$ module avail matlab-runtime
    -------------------------- /sw/TOOL ---------------------------
    matlab-runtime/2023b-update10  matlab-runtime/2024b-update5  
    matlab-runtime/2024a-update7
    hummel2-front1$ module load matlab-runtime/2024b-update5
    module: loaded matlab-runtime/2024b-update5

• start hello_world with the RRZ wrapper script rrz-matlab-runtime

    hummel2-front1$ rrz-matlab-runtime ./hello_world
    Hello, MATLAB World!
