How to improve interactive performance of MATLAB
- 19 June 2017
When using ssh X11-Forwarding (options -X or -Y), matlab can
be slow to start and also exhibit slow response to interactive use. This
is because X11 sends many small packets over the network, often
awaiting a response before continuing. This interacts unfavorably with
medium or even higher latency connections, i.e. WiFi.
A way to eliminate this issue is to use dedicated resources and to
start a remote desktop session that does not suffer from network
latencies in the same manner. This approach requires a VNC client
vncviewer installed on your local machine. A widely used VNC
client is TurboVNC.
