Saikat Dey developed a reusable MATLAB batch workflow for the OWL HPC cluster, focusing on automating and streamlining MATLAB job submissions for researchers. Working within the AdvancedResearchComputing/examples repository, Saikat created and iteratively improved the matlab_owl.sh script, which configures SBATCH directives, loads the MATLAB module, and executes batch jobs using prime_batch_local. The solution leverages Bash scripting, Slurm workload manager, and Linux modules to reduce setup time and enhance reproducibility for MATLAB experiments on HPC infrastructure. Over the month, Saikat’s work demonstrated depth in HPC workflow automation and scripting, addressing cluster compatibility and reliability for scalable research computing environments.

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.
