…or on clouds such as Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. MATLAB Parallel Server offers access to cluster resources through the familiar MATLAB environment, provides the ability to run on multiple machines without algorithm changes, and helps to access cloud clusters or local high-performance computing (HPC) resources. Expanded access also offers flexibility in working with academic researchers, students, and faculty from other institutions by offering them access to MATLAB and Simulink. Now these academicians can access MATLAB on authorized campus machines and university HPC clusters for their non-commercial work. This helps to support collaborative research projects across institutions and provides…
