Does the 2018b version of parallel toolbox and distributed computing support infiniband clustered systems?

Parallel Computing Toolbox 4.1 (R2009a) does not have built-in support for InfiniBand. However, the toolboxes provide all the necessary hooks to take advantage of it.

For this, the user will need to provide their own custom build of MPI that supports InfiniBand. Instructions on how to use a different built of MPI can be found in the attached document under the subtopic "Using a Different MPI Build on UNIX Operating Systems".

Does the 2020b version support it? We were using our own MPI but with the 2020b version we went back to using the one packaged with Matlab

Hello Clay,

Unfortunately, it is not yet supported in R2020b.
