Saikat Dey developed a reusable MATLAB batch workflow for the OWL HPC cluster, focusing on streamlining MATLAB job submissions for researchers. Working within the AdvancedResearchComputing/examples repository, Saikat authored and iteratively improved the matlab_owl.sh script, which automates SBATCH directive configuration, MATLAB module loading, and execution of batch jobs via Slurm. The solution leverages Bash scripting and Linux modules to reduce setup time and enhance reproducibility for MATLAB experiments on HPC infrastructure. While the work addressed a single feature over one month, it demonstrated depth in HPC workflow automation and provided a practical foundation for scalable, reliable MATLAB job execution on OWL.
Month: 2025-04 — Delivered a reusable MATLAB batch workflow for the OWL HPC cluster, enabling researchers to run MATLAB jobs via batch submission with minimal setup. Implemented matlab_owl.sh to configure and submit MATLAB batch jobs (SBATCH directives, MATLAB module loading, and execution of prime_batch_local). Updated the script to improve reliability and cluster compatibility. No major bugs fixed this month. Business impact: reduces time-to-first-MATLAB-run on OWL, improves reproducibility for MATLAB experiments, and supports scalable HPC workflows. Technologies demonstrated: Bash scripting, Slurm SBATCH directives, MATLAB, Linux modules, and HPC workflow automation.
