To execute Star-P, first submit an interactive job to execute the client:

qsub -I -q serial

Note that despite the fact that the server will provide a parallel backend,
the client itself is a serial process.  This will reserve a CPU to execute
the client and automatically log you in to the containing node.  Proceed to
execute the client using:

use starp-2.5.1
starp

The Star-P cilent will automatically submit a job to the scheduler to run the
backend and start MATLAB's frontend.  If you'd like to use the MATLAB GUI
(and you have enabled X11 forwarding from your login system), add -X to your
"qsub" command.  When Star-P detects that the backend job is running,
you will be placed at the MATLAB prompt.  You can check the np
variable, set by Star-P at startup, to determine the number of processors
available on the backend.
