Can I use the Parallel Computing Toolbox to run workers on more than one computer simultaneously?

I would like the local workers from the Parallel Computing Toolbox on more than one computer at the same time. Is this possible?

When using the Parallel Computing Toolbox with the local scheduler it can only be used on that single machine.

If interested in utilizing workers on multiple computers, we offer MATLAB Parallel Server, which can be used across multiple machines.  More information on MATLAB Parallel Server can be found here:

NOTE: Starting in R2019a the following name changes occurred:

•     MATLAB Distributed Computing Server was renamed to MATLAB Parallel Server
•     mdce_def was renamed to mjs_def
•     mdce binary was renamed to mjs
