MathWorks has announced Release 2009a (R2009a) of its MATLAB, Simulink, and PolySpace product families. R2009a utilizes parallel computing techniques to work faster on multicore and multiprocessor systems up to eight cores.
The core DSP functions of MATLAB such as Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) are implemented using multithreaded computing. The Simulink code is generated fast through multi-core execution and also the polyspace code verification is made faster. By adapting to parallel computing, the new version can enable the user to distribute computation on up to eight MATLAB sessions loaded on a multicore processor based desktop computer.
