Module 5 of 8 - How to run Matlab on Cypress

What is MATLAB?

MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory) is a proprietary multi-paradigm programming language and numeric computing environment developed by MathWorks. MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, plotting of functions and data, implementation of algorithms, creation of user interfaces, and interfacing with programs written in other languages.

Tulane’s expanded MathWorks license includes access to MATLAB, Simulink, and 48 toolboxes for both on-campus and at-home software installations. For more information about MATLAB and to learn how to download and use the products, please view the article in our Knowledge Base.

Why use a HPC Cluster?

  • tasks take too long
    • When the task to solve becomes heavy on computations, the operations are typically outsourced from the local laptop or desktop to elsewhere. 
    • Your computation may execute more efficiently if the code supports multithreading or multiprocessing.

  • one server is not enough
    • When a single computer can’t handle the required computation or analysis, the work is carried out on larger groups of servers.
