TCP/IP communication in Matlab

Question

I want to build my own Matlab cluster from lots of junk computers.
Anybody knows how to send data from one Matlab to another over TCP ? I need to send image chunks / .mat files and variables.

Thanks,
SW

Answer 1

You can use the Distributed Computing Toolbox ($$$) or the jPar utility from the File Exchange (free)

Answer 2

TCP/UDP/IP Toolbox 2.0.6 from Matlab Exchange offers a tcp/ip implementation. When I last checked, about a year ago, it was far more performant than the one available by the "Instrument Control Toolbox" from The MathWorks.
