Matlab is commercial software and the CSIR has a site license which allows for non-commercial use on the CHPC cluster.

Please send an email to helpdesk@chpc.ac.za to request access to run Matlab M-files on the cluster. Please mention your use case and project.

Matlab 2020a is available by loading the shell environment module

module load chpc/math/matlab/R2020a

Note that you must include this command in your job scripts too in order to load Matlab into your job script environment.

Note that you will only have access to the text mode user interface on the cluster. Make sure your M-files can run without needing the Matlab GUI.

Additionally, your M-files need to be able to work non-interactively to run within a job script.
