Release Notes for R2006b

File I/O

• New functions giving access to more than 200 routines in the HDF5 C API

library, supporting reading and writing of complex data types, HDF5 data

subsetting capabilities, and other HDF5 features.

Large Data Set Handling and Performance

• Elimination of temporary memory copies when calling M-file fiinctions and

some built-in functions in-place (i.e.,

= myf unction (x)) for easier hsuidling

of large data sets and improve performance

• Ability to read and write MAT-files greater than

GB on 64-bit platforms via

new switches to the save function

• Ability to view larger arrays in Array Editor

• Full JIT/Accelerator support for 64-bit platforms, allowing faster code

execution
