Hi everyone,

I need to run Comsol on the cloud and for specific reasons I am restricted to Google Cloud.

I am already using Matlab on the cloud.

My question is :
If I run Comsol through Matlab, which runs on the cloud with Techila, will I have the performance of the cloud machine or my laptop? In other words, when I call the Comsol kernel in Matlab, is the calculation happening in Matlab on the cloud or does the comsol instance calculate locally ?

Best,
Konstantinos

Hi

If you make a connection from Matlab to Comsol on another computer (using mphstart) and you run a command using the Comsol API (e.g. comsol.study('std1').run ) then the computations are performed by Comsol on the other computer.

This explanation is not specific to using Comsol/Matlab on the cloud, but is valid for any type of setup.
