GPU support in MATLAB started in R2010bBack in R2010b, the first GPU enabled functions were made available in MATLAB via Parallel Computing Toolbox. The idea was then, as it is now, to overload... read more >>

I think that MATLAB is a great platform on which to do High Performance Computing (HPC) and take any opportunity I can to teach or demonstrate this. Such an opportunity came up recently when I was... 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 >>

Yesterday morning, I overheard my kids talking about a tic/toc ban which surprised me because they are not MATLAB users and not particularly well connected at MathWorks. How would they know about... read more >>

Late last year I introduced the new solution framework for solving Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) that made its debut in MATLAB R2023b. I demonstrated how it allowed users to do all kinds of... 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 >>

14th March is Pi Day, celebrated by geeks everywhere and a great excuse for technical computing bloggers to publish something tenuously related to pi and their favorite technology of choice. This is... 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 >>

I was recently working with a researcher who had to sort arrays of double precision numbers thousands of times. In his application, however, he didn't need the full sorted list. He only wanted the... read more >>

More Compute, More Problems When it comes to High Performance Computing resources, I'm a lucky guy. I've got a fairly decent, 8 core desktop along with guest access to a reasonable number of... read more >>
