Seminar Overview
Please join MathWorks for free MATLAB seminars on Tuesday, October 2nd in Eck Visitors Center Auditorium from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Session 1: Data Analysis with MATLAB
10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
During this session, we will introduce specific examples to demonstrate how to acquire, analyze, and visualize data through mathematical, statistical, and engineering functions that support common engineering operations. This session is designed to provide an overview of the MATLAB technical computing environment, including desktop tools for editing and debugging code, publishing your work, programming, visualizing, and creating graphical user interfaces (GUI). We will also incorporate a number of new features from the latest version of MATLAB.
Highlights include:
- Access data from many sources (files, other software, hardware, etc.)
- Use interactive tools for iterative exploration, design, and problem solving
- Automate and capture your work in easy-to-write scripts and programs
- Share your results with others by automatically creating reports
- Build and deploy GUI-based applications
Break – Pizza lunch provided by MathWorks
12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Session 2: Speeding Up MATLAB Applications
1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m.
In this session we will discuss and 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 briefly introduce our Parallel Computing Toolbox and Distributed Computing Server to solve computationally and data-intensive problems on multicore computers and clusters.
Highlights include:
- Understand memory usage and vectorization in MATLAB
- Address bottlenecks in your programs
- Optimize file I/O to streamline your code
- Transition from serial to parallel MATLAB programs
