The MathWorks Simulink and MATLAB 2010a now available

The MathWorks has announced Release 2010a (R2010a) of its MATLAB and Simulink product families, complete with new capabilities and advancements.

Key in this release are new streaming capabilities for signal processing and video processing in MATLAB, non-linear solvers for standard and large-scale optimisation, and expanded Simulink support for large teams designing complex systems, says The MathWorks.

R2010a also introduces Simulink PLC Coder, which is designed to help industrial control system engineers generate IEC 61131-structured text. This release updates 83 other products, including PolySpace code verification products.

According to The MathWorks, R2010a reflects a continued focus on performance within the MATLAB product family, including multicore support and performance enhancements for more than 50 functions in Image Processing Toolbox, and additional multithreaded math functions in MATLAB. There are also enhancements to file sharing, path management, and the desktop in MATLAB, says the company.

With this release, Simulink offers expanded support for large design teams, enabling them to design complex systems more efficiently, The MathWorks says. These capabilities include tuneable parameter structures for management of large parameter sets and triggered model blocks and function-call branching for component-based modelling.
