You might have thought functionality as basic as saving numerical data to a file would be something you wouldn't have to worry too much about with a product as mature as MATLAB... You'd be wrong! The standard MATLAB file formats have evolved a bit over the years. Here are...

For some years I have been using NoMachine NX for remote access to Linux servers. It has a cross-platform client, allows continuous sessions (seperate to the console login), works well over slow connections and allows resizing of the remote display. The resizing is a particularly handy feature when reconnecting to...

The sharedmatrix package allows the sharing of memory between Matlab sessions. It uses operating system shared memory and implements a proxy interface which allows you to use objects in this shared memory as if they were normal Matlab variables. This is very useful, for example when using the Parallel Computing...

It seems that in recent versions of Matlab (from at least R2012a), some cleanup was performed on the fintrf.h header file for the Fortran interface. Where the check for 64 bit platforms is performed, what used to be (R2011a) #if defined(__x86_64__) || defined(_M_AMD64) || defined(__amd64) || \ ...
