Simultaneously using both the local pool and a cluster pool

Hi,

I'd like to combine a local pool and an (HPC Server) cluster pool, e.g. to run:

matlabpool open local 8
matlabpool open MSCluster 32

Attempting this results in an error though. Is there any way round this?

Thanks in advance.

It is not possible to more than one matlabpool open at a time, and it is not possible to combine MATLABs from different clusters into one matlabpool.

Thanks.

My eventual work around was to use this:

and to start both local and remote slaves. It was actually easier to get it to do what I wanted it to do than it was with matlabpool.
