Matlab Coder

[PTN]

Hi Andy,

Have you had any nice experience using matlab coder to convert advanced maths computation into c++?

Mind to share pro and con of using matlab coder?

I don't know any Matlab coder. If you are thinking of using Matlab in C++, maybe there are some methods to do that?

I guess previous poster had MATLAB Coder tool on his mind. I used this one sparingly. As with any source-to-source translator, it's hard to get maximum performance out of the generated code, and going for better performance is typically the main reason for considering translation. Still, MATLAB tools (including HDL Coder) are decent in that regard, so it boils down to trying for yourself for given piece of Matlab code, and checking is generated code OK for your purposes.

Overview of Matlab coder sicne September 2012 release:-

MATLAB Coder™ generates standalone C and C++ code from MATLAB® code. The generated source code is portable and readable. MATLAB Coder supports a subset of core MATLAB language features, including program control constructs, functions, and matrix operations. It can generate MEX functions that let you accelerate computationally intensive portions of MATLAB code and verify the behavior of the generated code.

I wish someone here in this forum can share the experience using Matlab coder to generate algo into C++.

Thank you.

Admittedly, a somewhat tongue-in-cheek writeup written from a "I can get it done in C++ w/ Eigen in under 1 min in a few lines of code producing result competitive with MKL libs called by an ideal, perfectly-vectorized MATLAB equivalent -- and hence I'm not willing to give MATLAB Coder a single second of productivity more" POV, but thought it may suffice as a comment on the "nice experience" aspect ;-)
