High performance computing is all about writing efficient code that is easily spread across the multi-processor/multi-core architecture we all have (and under-use) on our desktop PCs.
Traditionally high-performance computing (HPC) has been awkward to use, requiring special libraries and message passing interfaces and only ran on expensive hardware. Now however MATLAB’s Parallel Computing Toolbox has significantly lowered the barrier to enable non-specialist users to solve computationally intensive problems using multi-core processors, GPUs as found in many graphics cards, and computing clusters.
The MATLAB environment integrates mathematical computing, visualisation, and a powerful technical language. Built-in interfaces let you quickly access and import data from instruments, files, external databases and programs. In addition, MATLAB lets you integrate external routines written in C, C++, Fortran, and Java with your MATLAB applications, and allows you to create compiled programs.

David Wilson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical & Electronic Engineering at the Auckland University of Technology. He is also a director of the Industrial Information and Control Centre, (I2C2) which is a joint collaboration with the University of Auckland involved with process control, modelling and optimisation of industrial processes.
Before joining AUT University, he was a senior lecturer in Sweden and Switzerland working with pulp and paper companies Swiss pharmaceutical companies, and government sponsored environmental projects. David’s research interests lie in model predictive control, GPS applications in the marine industry, and modelling and simulation of a wide variety of applications spanning the finance, agriculture, fishing and manufacturing industries.
David received his Ph.D. from the University of Queensland in 1990, and a BE (Chemical & Materials) from the University of Auckland.
About MATLAB
MATLAB is widely used around the world by engineers and scientists who need to make mathematical models that guide them in their work. These models can involve simple sums, but they are more likely to involve matrix calculations, either explicitly or hidden behind easy-to-use graphical interfaces.
In New Zealand, MATLAB users are from diverse areas such as electronics engineering, environmental science, finance, structural engineering, electricity generation and distribution, brewing, and the dairy industry. One NZ customer uses MATLAB to analyse the performance of Grand Prix racing cars for one of the major teams. MATLAB was also used by one of the America’s cup teams.
MATLAB is an essential tool for modelling and analysis for organisations that require a robust environment for easy application development. MATLAB is easy to learn and can provide a platform for faster development, integration and deployment. Professionals say MATLAB cuts their programming time by 90%.
MATLAB is used in a variety of application areas, including general algorithm development, signal and image processing, control system design, earth and life sciences, finance and economics, and instrumentation.
