Run MATLAB on Databricks

This repository shows how to run MATLAB® workflows on Databricks®.

First, your organization's administrator needs to:

• Set Up MATLAB on Databricks

Then, MATLAB users in your organization can:

• Run MATLAB Interactively on Databricks

  • Access the MATLAB desktop in your web browser, running on a Databricks cluster.

  • Develop and debug algorithms interactively before scaling out.

• Query Data in Databricks from MATLAB

  • Run SQL queries on a Databricks cluster or SQL warehouse using Database Toolbox™.

• Scale MATLAB Workflows on Databricks

  • Scale MATLAB code interactively on a single node using Parallel Computing Toolbox™.

  • Perform Spark operations in MATLAB on a single node, for quick development and testing.

  • Combine Spark operations with compiled MATLAB or Simulink® code for quick development in MATLAB, across multiple nodes.

  • Scale production workflows with compiled MATLAB or Simulink code for frequent and complex computations, across multiple nodes.
