Who Should Attend? Professors, researchers and students

8:30 a.m. – Registration: Sign-in (walk-ins welcome)

9:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.
Distributed and Parallel Computing with MATLAB
This session will show you how to perform parallel computing in MATLAB using either your desktop machine or a computer cluster. You will learn how to utilize the full capabilities of your multicore machine through the new parallelism capabilities of MATLAB 7.6.0(R2008a) and Parallel Computing Toolbox™ 3.3. We will also introduce the use of our parallel computing products on a computer cluster to speed up your algorithms and handle larger data sets.

10:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.
Advanced Programming Techniques in MATLAB
This master class will illustrate the usage and benefits of many of the different function types available in MATLAB 7. You will learn how using the right function type can lead to more robust and maintainable code. Demonstrations will show how to apply these techniques to solve optimization problems and make it easier to program GUIs in MATLAB.
This session will also provide you with an understanding of how different MATLAB data types are stored in memory. Experienced MATLAB programmers will receive the most benefit from this session.
