Optimizing and Accelerating Your MATLAB Code

In this session, we will demonstrate simple ways to improve and optimize your code that can boost execution speed by orders of magnitude. We will also address common pitfalls in writing MATLAB code, explore the use of the MATLAB Profiler to find bottlenecks, and introduce the use of Parallel Computing Toolbox and MATLAB Parallel Server to solve computationally and data-intensive problems on GPUs, multicore computers and clusters.

Some of the highlights include:
* Understanding vectorization and best coding practices in MATLAB
* Addressing bottlenecks in your programs
* Incorporating compiled languages, such as C, into your MATLAB applications
* Utilizing additional hardware, including multicore processors and GPUS, to improve performance
* Scaling up to a computer cluster, grid environment or cloud
