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.
