The parallelization is done by running several MATLAB or Octave
processes, either on local or on remote machines. Communication
between master and slave processes are done through SMB on Windows and
between leader and follower processes are done through SMB on Windows and
SSH on UNIX. Input and output data, and also some short status
messages, are exchanged through network filesystems. Currently the
system works only with homogenous grids: only Windows or only Unix

You also need to verify that the following requirements are met by

For a Windows grid:
* a standard Windows network (SMB) must be in place;
* the `PsTools`_ suite must be installed in the path of the
master Windows machine;
* the Windows user on the master machine has to be user of any
other slave machine in the cluster, and that user will be
* the Windows user on the leader machine has to be user of any
other follower machine in the cluster, and that user will be
used for the remote computations.
* detailed step-by-step setup instructions can be found in

For a UNIX grid:
* SSH must be installed on the master and on the slave machines;
* SSH must be installed on the leader and on the follower machines;
* SSH keys must be installed so that the SSH connection from
the master to the slaves can be done without passwords, or
the leader to the follower can be done without passwords, or
using an SSH agent.
We now turn to the description of the configuration directives. Note
