MathWorks adds new products to its portfolio

BANGALORE: The MathWorks, a provider in mathematical software, announced on Thursday released 2009a (R2009a) of its MATLAB, Simulink, and PolySpace product families.

R2009a includes extended support for multicore and multiprocessor systems, two new products, new features in MATLAB and Simulink, and enhancements to more than 90 other MathWorks products, said a press release.

The new multicore/multiprocessor capabilities in R2009a include multi-threaded implementations of fft and other core functions in MATLAB, plus multicore-accelerated Simulink code generation and PolySpace code verification.

In addition, to take advantage of today’s most advanced systems Parallel Computing Toolbox now enables a user to distribute computations on up to eight MATLAB sessions on a user’s desktop, the release added.

The two new products in R2009a are Vehicle Network Toolbox, which enables a direct connection between MATLAB and CAN bus networks for analysis and testing, and Simulink Design Optimization, which enables Simulink users to estimate and tune model parameters using numeric optimization, the release added.
