socket programming in MATLAB?

Question

i have two machines running MATLAB and i need to exchange information(numbers,images) between them,is there a way in MATLAB i can do it?

Answer 1

Adding some specifics to other answers, here's an example of using Java for sockets. multicore and MatlabMPI use the filesystem, so I believe if you have a shared network filesystem you could use them across machines. And here is an old implementation in C++.

We have direct experience only with multicore, which is the least like real socket communication out of the above, but it gets the job done for coarsely parallel jobs.
