MATLAB 7.2 Available with Support for Windows XP Professionsal x64 Edition

By DE Editors

The MathWorks(Natick, MA) is now offering MATLAB 7.2 with support for Windows XPProfessional x64 Edition. MATLAB 7.2 offers users the ability to accessand manipulate larger data sets and run larger, more data intensiveapplications by taking advantage of the large address space availablewith Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. Additionally, new featuresfor analyzing and visualizing time series data are included in MATLAB7.2, says the MathWorks.

A press release on the new version of MATLAB says it allows users toleverage the benefits of 64-bit computing with applications involvinglarger data sets and computationally intensive tasks. For example,applications such as flight test data analysis, bioinformatics analysisof genetic data, and geophysical image processing, which often involvedata sets greater than the 2 GB of available memory of 32-bit systems,can benefit from the increased memory available in 64-bit MATLAB.

MATLAB 7.2 also provides users with access to capabilities foranalyzing and visualizing time series data, including an interactivegraphical interface. According to The MathWorks, by enabling users tomanipulate data and time together, the software minimizes the risk ofpotential errors and reduces the time required to visualize and analyzevarious applications including flight test data, the hourly price of astock, engine diagnostics, and drug discoveries.

MATLAB 7.2 is available for Microsoft Windows, Unix/Linux, andMacintosh . It is part of The MathWorks Release 2006a, whichalso includes a new version of the MATLAB Compiler, Statistics Toolbox,and Neural Networks Toolbox. Price: $1,900 (to start).
