Matlab

Mathworks MATLAB, called also “matrix laboratory”, is a high-level language and interactive environment for numerical computation, visualisation, and programming. With MATLAB, you can analyse data, develop algorithms, and create models and applications.

MATLAB is available to RTU structural units free of charge and may be used for non-commercial research and study purposes at classrooms. For time-consuming MATLAB simulations, MATLAB Distributed Computing Server may be used, which is available on the RTU HPC cluster (instruction is available here).

License term: perpetual.

Mathworks help: until 31.12.2026.

User groups: employees, students and classrooms.
