Mini Course: Speeding up MATLAB (by MathWorks)
MATLAB is a programming language focusing on making numerical computation and data visualiation easy. Many units in OIST are using this language for their research and simulations.
This Mini Course will be taught by engineers from MathWorks, the company developping MATLAB. The focus will be on accelerating MATLAB code, using different approaches: better general coding practices, using the Parallel Computing Toolbox, and using Deigo's resources.
Target audience
This course is suitable for people with some experience with MATLAB. Ideally, the participants will already have some code that they are interested in speeding up.
Teachers
The teacher will be Megumi Fukuda, from MathWork teaching remotely. Kang-Yu Chu and Alexey Martyushev will be helping students locally.
Program
The program will be as follows:
| Date | Time | Topic |
|---|---|---|
| Friday, Dec. 17 | 10AM - 12PM | Basics for parallel computing - speeding up MATLAB with your desktop machine. Better coding practice, how to use parfor, etc. |
| Friday, Jan. 14 | 10AM - 12PM | Scaling up MATLAB with cluster machines / HPC. |
There will be hands-on experience.
The material will be adapted from this source.
