The MATLAB is installed. Licensing manager was not started per Barnabas.
I started it now because you insist on it. I really don't appreciate
this back and fourth discussion on Saturday evening over something I
believed we agreed on.

My understanding was that you guys wanted latest and greatest TensorFlow
Titan X (Pascal cards). That requires CUDA 8.0. MATLAB is broken on CUDA
8.0 and it will freeze if GPUs are involved no matter how calls are
made. MATLAB is only tested on CUDA 7.5 (not by me but by people at
MathWorks).  MATLAB is fully functional on GPU1 which has 8 GPU cards
Tesla K80 (Kepler). We all agreed that we can live with MATLAB only on
GPU1. That were the last marching orders of Dr. Poczos.

P.S. If we freeze servers tonight bunch of image processing guys will be
screaming at me until Monday.
