# PETSC_MATLAB_ENGINE_

Creates a MATLAB engine on each process in a communicator.

## Synopsis

    #include "petscmatlab.h"
    PetscMatlabEngine PETSC_MATLAB_ENGINE_(MPI_Comm comm)

Not Collective

## Input Parameter

- comm - the MPI communicator to share the engine

## Options Database Key

- -matlab_engine_host - hostname on which to run MATLAB, one must be able to ssh to this host

## Note

Unlike almost all other PETSc routines, this does not return an error code. Usually used in the form

      PetscMatlabEngineYYY(XXX object, PETSC_MATLAB_ENGINE_(comm));
