Matlab Comes to Campus

By Dr. Philip Baczewski, Director of Academic Computing and User Services

The CITC Academic Computing Services has secured a campus site license for Matlab and Simulink from Mathworks, inc. Along with these base programs are a number of toolboxes which may be applied to specific problems and processes. The license allows on-campus use by students and research faculty and staff. Research faculty and staff are also allowed home use of the Matlab software under this license.

Included in the base license are the following products:

MATLAB
Simulink
Signal Processing Toolbox
Control System Toolbox
Optimization Toolbox
Statistics Toolbox
Image Processing Toolbox
Signal Processing Blockset
Stateflow
Data Acquisition Toolbox
Instrument Control Toolbox
Curve Fitting Toolbox
SimMechanics
Bioinformatics Toolbox

In addition to these, ACS is working with the College of Engineering and College of Arts and Sciences to acquire and provide these additional toolboxes:

Simulink Control Design
Wavelet Toolbox
Fixed-Point Toolbox
Communications toolbox
Communications Blockset
RF Toolbox
RF Blockset
Simulink Fixed Point
Simulink Accelerator
Partial Differentia Equation Toolbox
Robust Control Toolbox
Filter Design Toolbox
Neural Network Toolbox
Video and Image Processing Blockset
Matlab Compiler

ACS staff are in the process of making this software available for on-campus and home installation. For further details about this see "Getting up to speed on our new software" in this issue of Benchmarks Online.
