MathWorks, Inc.
MathWorks is the leading developer and supplier of software for technical computing and model-based design. Their two major products, MATLAB® (design, analysis) and Simulink® (modeling, simulation), allow focus on different aspects of the design process; and their wide variety of toolbox additions ensure that accurate modeling, testing, or simulations are possible with both products. Each product has a far-ranging set of practical applications, including those in the automotive, communications, education, and research industries. Mathworks was founded in 1984 in Natick, Massachusetts, and has expanded to have many offices worldwide.
MATLAB is a high-powered piece of software that allows the user to perform computations, including high-level technical computations, graphical analysis, data crunching, image processing, and algorithm implementation and optimization. MATLAB allows the user to code in several languages. MATLAB will integrate with many other software tools, allowing its algorithms to function in programs like Microsoft® Excel® or languages like Java™ and Fortran.
Simulink focuses less on the graphical side of design, and rather on a model-based design, allowing old designs to be reused and modified for future products, rather than having to recreate them from scratch. Simulink runs tests based on the external environment, and functions in control system design, signal processing, communications, and image processing. Simulink is used in a number of internal and external tools, including the Synphony HLS AE, which is integrated into Actel's Libero® Integrated Design Environment (IDE).
