    %% Customizing the Settings for the Examples in the Parallel Computing Toolbox(TM)
% This example shows how to change the behavior of the examples in the Parallel Computing Toolbox(TM).
% There are at least two versions of each example in the
% Parallel Computing Toolbox: a sequential version and a distributed version.
% The distributed versions will not run unless they can submit jobs to a
% cluster, so the most important setting explained here is the cluster profile
% that the examples use to identify the cluster to submit to.
%
% If you are not familiar with the concepts of distributed computing, please 
% read the documentation for the Parallel Computing Toolbox in the MATLAB(R) 
% help browser.

%% Accessing and Changing the Default Profile
% The examples all use the default profile when creating and submitting
% jobs. To be more specific, the examples use the cluster identified by the
% default profile.  On the Home tab, in the Environment section, click
% |Parallel| > |Default Cluster| to view and change the default profile, or you
% can use the |parallel.defaultClusterProfile| function to get and set the
% default profile:
parallel.defaultClusterProfile()
%%
% The 
% <matlab:helpview(fullfile(docroot,'toolbox','distcomp','distcomp_ug.map'),'profiles_help')
% profiles documentation> 
% contains the complete guide to managing your profiles.
 
%% Accessing the Current Example Settings
% All example-related settings other than the default profile can be obtained
% and changed via |paralleldemoconfig|.  Running the |paralleldemoconfig|
% command without any input arguments gives us a structure with the current example
% settings.  We will examine these settings one at a time.  Any changes that we
% make to these settings remain in effect for the duration of the current MATLAB
% session.  If we want some changes to be applied every time MATLAB starts, we
% should put them into our |startup.m| file.  First, we look at the current
% settings:
orgconf = paralleldemoconfig();
disp( orgconf )

%% Changing the Number of Tasks
% The number of tasks the examples create is stored in the |NumTasks| field.  We
% can change it to a different value by using paralleldemoconfig.
paralleldemoconfig('NumTasks', 3); % Use 3 tasks.

%% Changing the Example Difficulty Level
% The total run time of most of the examples can be changed by a constant factor
% through the |Difficulty| field of |paralleldemoconfig|.  The default value is
% 1.0, and the examples attempt to adapt their problem sizes so that they run in 
% half the regular time when the |Difficulty| is set to 0.5 and twice the 
% regular time when the |Difficulty| is set to 2.0.  The |Difficulty| field
% can be set to any value greater than 0.

%%
% It should be noted that some of the examples perform a fixed amount of
% computation, therefore their run time cannot be controlled by the |Difficulty|
% field, and those examples issue a warning if they are run with a |Difficulty|
% value other than 1.0.  Let's see how the sequential blackjack example responds 
% to changes in the difficulty level:
paralleldemoconfig('Difficulty', 0.5);
paralleldemo_blackjack_seq2;

%%
% By looking at the graph of the total winnings, we can see how many people were
% playing in the simulation.  Observe that when we set the |Difficulty| field to
% 1.0, we simulate twice the number of players we simulated when using a
% difficulty level of 0.5.  Also notice that the Blackjack example executes in half
% the time when run with |Difficulty| set to 0.5 when compared to the default
% value of 1.0.
paralleldemoconfig('Difficulty', 1.0);
paralleldemo_blackjack_seq2;

%% Customizing the Network Directory 
% The |NetworkDir| field stores the name of a directory on a shared file system
% that the examples can use when they want to transfer input/output data between
% the client and the workers via the file system.  The directory is specified in
% two different formats, one for the Windows(R) platform and one for UNIX(R)
% platforms.  If our client and workers are only using one platform, we need to
% concern ourselves with only that field and we can safely ignore the other.
% Additionally, the directory permissions must be such that MATLAB can write to
% it, both from the client and the workers.

%%
% Assuming that the following two paths refer to the same directory on our
% file server, we can inform the Parallel Computing Toolbox of that
% correspondence:
windowsdir = '\\mycomputer\user\subdir';
unixdir = '/home/user/subdir';
paralleldemoconfig('NetworkDir', ...
    struct('windows', windowsdir, 'unix', unixdir));

%%
% Notice that we specified the Windows path as a UNC path and not in terms
% of mapped network drives.

%%
% If we do not have a shared network file system, we cannot run any of the
% examples that try to make use of it.  The same applies if there is no 
% directory that all the Windows machines recognize by one name and all
% the UNIX machines can recognize by another name.

%% Restoring the Original Settings
% We do not want this tutorial to change the default example settings, so we
% restore their original values.
paralleldemoconfig(orgconf);
