The MathWorks Announces Release 2009a of its MATLAB and Simulink Product Families
New version includes enhanced multicore support, two new products, and updates to PolySpace products
NATICK, Mass. - (27 Apr 2009)
The MathWorks today announced Release 2009a (R2009a) of its MATLAB and Simulink product families. R2009a includes extended support for multicore and multiprocessor systems, two new products, new features in MATLAB and Simulink, and enhancements to PolySpace and more than 90 other MathWorks products.
The new multicore/multiprocessor capabilities in R2009a include multithreaded implementations of fft and other core functions in MATLAB, plus multicore-accelerated Simulink code generation. 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 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 PolySpace products now support accelerated code verification on multicore computers. The products also include comprehensive support for JSF C++ (JSF++) standards checking and improved ease of use with Eclipse integration.
Other highlights of R2009a include:
• Curve Fitting Toolbox – support for surface fitting, including a new graphical user interface
• Real-Time Workshop and Real-Time Workshop Embedded Coder – enables users to tailor the generated code by specifying high-level objectives such as efficiency or traceability
• Symbolic Math Toolbox – automatic generation of Simulink blocks from symbolic math expressions, for equation-based first-principles modeling
• SimBiology – support for pharmacokinetic modeling, plus state-of-the-art nonlinear mixed-effects models for parameter estimation.
The new release is available immediately and is being shipped to customers with current subscriptions to The MathWorks Software Maintenance Service. For additional information on R2009a products updates please visit www.mathworks.com/R2009a.
