Upgrade to BLAS Libraries
For AMD processors, MATLAB software now uses Version 3.6 of the AMD Core Math
Library (ACML™) for the Basic Linear Algebra Subroutine (BLAS) libraries.
Library for LAPACK and BLAS Symbols Separated
The binder library, libmwlapack.lib, containing both LAPACK and BLAS symbols
is now two separate library files: libmwlapack.lib for LAPACK symbols and
libmwblas.lib for BLAS symbols.
Compatibility Considerations
If you previously linked to the libmwlapack.lib library to use the BLAS symbols, you
will need to update your code to link to the libmwblas.lib library.
Colon Operations on Characters Return Character Type Data
Using a colon with characters to iterate a for-loop now returns data of type character. For
example,
for x='a':'b',x,end
results in
x =
a
x =
b
Compatibility Considerations
Previously, colon operations with characters iterating a for-loop returned data of type
double. In previous releases the above example returned:
for x='a':'b',x,end
x =
97
x =
