Affected Software: 

Users may experience their home directory running out of space after executing multiple MATLAB 2024a jobs. This issue is caused by the accumulation of multiple copies of the MathWorks Service Host in $HOME/.MathWorks/ServiceHost.

To address this, we have upgraded MATLAB 2024a to Update 7 on all clusters, as recommended in the following article: Why is the MathWorks Service Host causing issues with my cluster and/or HPC?

This update resolves the issue.

To reclaim space in your home directory, please remove any leftover service host files by executing the following commands:

killall MATLAB
killall MathWorksServiceHost
rm -rf ~/.MathWorks/ServiceHost
rm -rf ~/.MATLABConnector
