Scale Up with MATLAB Production Server (MPS)

Directly deploy MATLAB programs into production– Centrally manage multiple MATLAB programs & MCR versions

– Automatically deploy updates without server restarts

Scalable & reliable

– Service large numbers of concurrent requests

– Add capacity or redundancy with additional servers

Use with web, database & application servers

– Lightweight client library isolates MATLAB processing

– Access MATLAB programs using native data types

Demo: generating code for neural network model

1. Convert neural network model into a MATLAB function supporting

code generation– genFunction(net,’functionname.m’,’MatrixOnly’,’yes’);

2. Generate code using MATLAB Coder

3. Verify that generated code produces correct results

MATLAB Application Deployment

Share MATLAB programs with people who do

not have MATLAB

– Royalty-free distribution

– Encryption to protect your IP

Create both standalone applications and

components for integration

Deploy to desktop, web, and enterprise

applications

Coder products for generating standalone C/C++
