You do not. You can send any MATLAB data types, and the receiving side
automatically gets the right size and type of data.

No, you do not need to pre-allocate 'data' - any previous value is
ignored and overwritten.

That depends on how your cluster is set up. Some are set up so that all
worker nodes can see a common filesystem.
