So you doing something like the following
cluster = parcluster;
job = cluster.batch(@mycode,...., 'Pool',size);
Then what you're suggesting is that let's say your code looked something like
function mycode
pause(10 * 60)
parfor idx = 1:N
...
end
On the cluster, the workers have a default timeout of 5 minutes and therefore errors out because you're running code (the pause) for 10 minutes before the workers are being used in the parfor.
'The parallel pool job was cancelled because it failed to finish within the specified parallel pool job timout of 300 seconds'
I tried quickly reproducing this with the local scheduler, but didn't (it shouldn't matter if I'm jusing local). How are you getting the error message? And which scheduler are you using MJS or generic (e.g. PBS)?
