- Antonio (10 days 12 hours ago): Note Intel’s MKL implementations of BLAS/LAPACK are already multi-threaded, so it is likely that you won’t achieve a vast improvement (the overall performance could even...
- Testing 123 (248 days 3 hours ago): The mexCallMATLAB function raises interesting possibilities for parallelization. I spent a few hours (days…) writing a mexFunction that mimics the functionality of...
- Andrés Aguilar (387 days 2 hours ago): Hello, has anyone tried to change the language of the DateComboBox? For example English -> French ————&# 8212;—- January -> Janvier April...
- Yair Altman (679 days 5 hours ago): You didn’t say what code you were trying to run and what exactly didn’t work for you, so I cannot help you. In general I can say that the code still works ok on...
- Nicholas (681 days 2 hours ago): It has come to my attention that in R2022a the content for HtmlText and CurrentLocation cannot be set for an HTMLBrowserPanel object. This can be easily demonstrated in R2022a with...
- bryan taylor (682 days 9 hours ago): I’m using matlab r2021a. The command above don’t seem to work. The commands run without error but the changes do no effect the text box.
- Yair Altman (699 days 10 hours ago): @Mitchell – in most cases the user wants a single string identifier for the computer, that uniquely identifies it with a distinct fingerprint that is different from any other...
- Mitchell (699 days 19 hours ago): Great post! I’m not very familiar with the network interfaces being referenced here, but it seems like the java-based cross-platform method concatenates all network...
- Eric (748 days 8 hours ago): this save me a lot of time, thank you very much!
- Yair Altman (1070 days 4 hours ago): You forgot to wait for the figure and the axes to fully render. After a pause and drawnow the code works ok (at least in R2021a).
- Anton Semechko (1070 days 4 hours ago): Hi, Yair, Do you know why is it impossible to add listeners to any of the uiobjects in UIFigure? And is there some way to work around this limitation? For example:...
- Davide Coluzzi (1105 days 3 hours ago): Hello, I have just found out this website and the book, they are great! Many thanks for this. I am developing a GUI in Matlab and I added a uiimage to receive info, so that...
- Yair Altman (1222 days 9 hours ago): drawnow is the entry function to Matlab graphics updates, which chains numerous internal drawing/painting calls, as well as associated callbacks (internal and user-defined)....
- Ondrej (1222 days 9 hours ago): Hi Yair, I have a slightly off-topic question. I am using Matlab 2017a and when using drawnow to refresh the graphics I noticed in the profiler (with -memory option on) this: Code...
- Florian (1453 days 17 hours ago): Hello Yair thank you for this work. I am trying to using the sorting function but obviously it treat my ‘double’ as ‘string’. Then the sorting of the numbers...

159 relevant articles found:Tips for accelerating Matlab performance
My article on “Tips for Accelerating MATLAB Performance” was recently featured in the September 2017 Matlab newsletter digest.
Faster csvwrite/dlmwrite
The speed of the builtin csvwrite, dlmwrite functions can be improved dramatically.
Sending HTML emails from Matlab
Matlab’s sendmail only sends simple text messages by default; a simple hack can cause it to send HTML-formatted messages.
Parsing XML strings
Matlab’s xmlread function cannot process XML data directly, but this can easily be overcome.
Afterthoughts on implicit expansion
The new implicit expansion feature of Matlab R2016b can break user code in unexpected ways.
Speeding up Matlab-JDBC SQL queries
Fetching SQL ResultSet data from JDBC into Matlab can be made significantly faster.
Working with non-standard DPI displays
Matlab uses logical (scaled) pixel positions. With high-DPI displays, this might cause problems, but it is easy to retrieve the physical (unscaled) pixel values.
Aligning uicontrol contents
Matlab uicontrols can often be customized using plain HTML/CSS, without need for advanced Java.
Zero-testing performance
Subtle changes in the way that we test for zero/non-zero entries in Matlab can have a significant performance impact.
Customizing axes part 5 – origin crossover and labels
The axes rulers (axles) can be made to cross-over at any x,y location within the chart.
