MATLAB R2025a has some great news for Apple Silicon Mac users: Apple Accelerate is the default BLAS. Since Apple Accelerate makes use of various hardware features in Apple Silicon CPUs, this means... read more >>

Sparse matrices have been in MATLAB for a long time but, up until now, the only types of sparse matrices you could create were double or logical sparse matrices.This is no longer the case and one of... read more >>

While browsing MATLAB Answers today, I stumbled across a discussion about the fastest way to solve small linear systems in MATLAB. As a performance-geek, I usually obsess over very large matrices but... read more >>

Back in 2021, Loren Shure posted an article that introduced the first page-wise matrix functions in MATLAB: A page-wise matrix multiply pagemtimes, along with page-wise transpose pagetranspose, and... read more >>

Few things say 'MATLAB' better than the backslash. So good, we put it on a T-shirt.As most people will be aware, the backslash operator solves a system of linear equations. That is, it finds the x... read more >>

Up to 3.7x faster Matrix-Matrix multiplication, 2x faster LU factorisation, 1.7x faster Cholesky decomposition and the potential for many more speed-ups across different areas of linear algebra in... read more >>

Back in May of this year i attended the ISC High Performance Computing conference with a few other colleagues from MathWorks and was astonished at the number of booths related to various quantum... read more >>

In R2022a, MathWorks started shipping AMD’s AOCL alongside Intel’s MKL in MATLAB.  This article explains what these are and why you might care about them. BLAS and LAPACK A lot of modern technical... read more >>
