parallel.listProfiles

List available cluster profiles

Since R2022b

    Description

    example

    allProfiles = parallel.listProfiles returns a cell array containing the names of all the available profiles.

    [allProfiles, defaultProfile] = parallel.listProfiles also returns the name of the default profile as a character vector.

    The allProfile output always contains a profile called 'Processes' for the local cluster, and always contains the default profile. If you delete or have not set the default profile, parallel.listProfiles returns 'Processes' as the default profile.

    You can create and change profiles by using the saveProfile or saveAsProfile functions on a cluster object. You can create, delete, and change profiles by using the Cluster Profile Manager. To access the Cluster Profile manager, in the Environment area of the MATLAB® desktop Home tab, click Parallel and then click Create and Manage Clusters.

    Examples

    collapse all

    Display the names of all the available profiles and set the first in the list as the default.

    allProfiles = parallel.listProfiles
    oldProfile = parallel.defaultProfile(allProfiles{1});

    This example shows how to display the names of all the available profiles and find the properties of the last profile.

    Display the names of all the available profiles.

    allNames = parallel.listProfiles
    
    allNames =
    
     1×4 cell array
    
        {'MyCluster'}    {'Processes'}    {'Threads'}    {'WebCluster'}
    

    Get the properties of the cluster identified by the last profile name in the list.

    lastCluster = parcluster(allNames{end})
    lastCluster = 
    
     MJS Cluster
