New version extends support for handling of large data sets and large-scale system models.
Bangalore: The MathWorks today announced Release 2009b (R2009b) of its MATLAB and Simulink product families. R2009b includes features for faster performance and enhanced handling of large data sets, builds on component-based modeling features in Simulink, and updates 83 other products, including PolySpace code verification products.
Key R2009b highlights for the MATLAB product family include extended support for multicore and multiprocessor systems as well as improvements for handling large data sets. MATLAB and Image Processing Toolbox now offer more multithreaded implementations of functions, and Statistics Toolbox adds parallel computing support for several functions. For users with large data sets, MATLAB now offers the ability to perform FFTs on data sets larger than 2 GB, Image Processing Toolbox adds a function to support processing of arbitrarily large TIFF images, and Parallel Computing Toolbox includes a new interface for working with large data sets that are distributed across a cluster.
Other MATLAB highlights in R2009b include:
• Mapping Toolbox enables the search and retrieval of geographic data sets from Web Map Service (WMS) servers (for example, NASA JPL OnEarth and Microsoft TerraServer).
• Users can now access the MATLAB Central File Exchange, including thousands of user-contributed files, directly from the MATLAB environment.
For Model-Based Design, R2009b enables Simulink users to capture design variants in models and switch between model-wide configurations to better manage design alternatives and reuse. Engineers can now simulate and generate embeddable code from MATLAB programs and Simulink models containing arrays that dynamically change size over time, which are useful for applications such as object detection and motion tracking.
Other Simulink highlights in R2009b include:
• Simulink Control Design – Automated tuning and turnkey PID controller blocks in Simulink for faster design and verification of these frequently used controllers.
• Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder – More efficient code generation for signal processing applications, with reduced data copies and optimized matrix operations.
• Simulink Verification and Validation – Model Advisor Configuration Editor to manage and deploy a consistent set of checks and rules for modeling standards across an organization.
• Simulink Design Verifier - New API that allows Embedded MATLAB to be used as a property specification language.
The new release is available immediately and is being provided to users with current subscriptions to MathWorks Software Maintenance Service.
