Introduction

MATLAB is a general-purpose high-level programming package for numerical work such as linear algebra, signal processing and other calculations involving matrices or vectors of data. Visualization tools are also included for presentation of results. The basic MATLAB package is extended through add-on components including SIMULINK, and the Image Processing, Optimization, Neural Network, Signal Processing, Statistics and Wavelet Toolboxes, among others.

Ways to run MATLAB - License considerations

At the University of Calgary, Information Technologies has purchased a MATLAB Total Academic Headcount license that allows installation and use of MATLAB on central clusters, such as ARC, as well as on personal workstations throughout the University. Potentially thousands of instances of MATLAB can be run simultaneously, each checking out a license from a central license server. An alternative is to compile MATLAB code into a standalone application. When such an application is run, it does not need to contact the server for a license. This allows researchers to run their calculations on compatible hardware, not necessarily at the University of Calgary, such as on Compute Canada clusters [1].
