WESTGRID (http://www.westgrid.ca/

) provides high performance computing, networking, and collaboration tools hosted by Western universities (Simon Fraser University, The Banff Centre, TRIUMF, University of Alberta, University of British Columbia, University of Calgary, University of Lethbridge, University of Victoria, University of Northern British Columbia, Athabasca University, University of Saskatchewan, University of Regina, University of Manitoba, University of Winnipeg, Brandon University). Since WESTGRID is CFI funded, WESTGRID also welcomes external users from any other institutions in Canada (ie: any student enrolled with any Canadian university).

13) If all else fails, then the ultimate matlab licensing solution would involved a system executable which attempts to launch a matlab engine

. Whilst monitoring the standard error output stream (ie: stderr), if it detects an error "-4" (the error number associated with insufficient matlab licenses), then it can relaunch the matlab engine until it doesn't fail. The problem with this solution is that it is racing against all the other processes in a polling manner-- quite inelegant. So really this isn't the ultimate solution.

14) Here (lmstat) is the details of the matlab licenses available to WESTGRID's GLACIER. Additionally, GLACIER was asked by UBC IT Services (the maintainers of the MATLAB license manager) to limit GLACIER to 20 concurrent matlab jobs.
