MathWorks rolls out 2014a MATLAB, Simulink product families

MathWorks, the developer of mathematical computing software, has announced Release 2014a (R2014a) of its MATLAB and Simulink product families. R2014a includes new releases of MATLAB and Simulink, and updates and bug fixes to 81 other products. 

MATLAB Product Family highlights include Optimization Toolbox (Mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) solver);  Statistics Toolbox (Repeated measures modelling for data with multiple measurements per subject); Image Processing Toolbox: (C-code generation for 25 functions with MATLAB Coder, and GPU acceleration for 5 functions); Econometrics Toolbox (State-space models, self-calibrating Kalman filter with missing data, and performance enhancements for ARIMA/GARCH models); Financial Instruments Toolbox (Dual curve construction, functions to compute credit exposure and exposure profile, and Black's model pricing of caps, floors, and swaptions); SimBiology (Unified functions for model estimation and desktop enhancements for model exploration); System Identification Toolbox (Recursive Least Squares Estimator and online model parameter estimation blocks); MATLAB Production Server: Secure communication between client and server and dynamic request creation.

The highlights of the Simulink Product Family comprise Simulink (Data dictionary for defining and managing design data associated with models); Simulink (Single-model workflow for algorithm partitioning and targeting of multicore processors and FPGAs); Simulink (Built-in support for LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3, Arduino Due, and Samsung Galaxy Android devices); Stateflow (Context-sensitive tab completion in Stateflow charts); Simulink Real-Time (Instrument panels, high-resolution target display, FlexRay protocol support, and combined functionality of xPC Target and xPC Target Embedded Option); SimMechanics (STEP file import and total constraint force calculation for joints) and Simulink Report Generator (Object Inspector and Informer for rich information display in Simulink web views).
