Although the vast majority of production work is done by running batch jobs on the clusters, typical research projects also require interactive work to be done with the code and data both before and after running the computation jobs. This presentation explores ways of working interactively using Octave/Matlab with the Alliance compute clusters. The interactive work frequently includes tasks like code profiling, job parameter estimation, data handling, and visualization. Although the example procedures in this presentation use Octave/Matlab, many of the strategies are generalizable across software packages.

The Compute Ontario Colloquia are weekly Zoom presentations on Advanced Research Computing, High Performance Computing, Research Data Management, and Research Software topics, delivered by staff from three Compute Ontario consortia (CAC, SciNet, SHARCNET) and guest speakers. The series began January 2023 and superseded similar series previously delivered by individual consortia (e.g. General Interest Seminars by SHARCNET or User Group Meeting TechTalks by SciNet). The colloquia are one hour long and include time for questions. No registration is required. Presentations are usually recorded and uploaded to the hosting consortium video channel (colloquia hosted by SHARCNET go to our youtube channel).
