Why Users are Choosing O-Matrix

O-Matrix can run MATLAB® scripts, (m-files) significantly faster than MATLAB and provides many features and capabilities not found in other high-level interactive matrix languages. O-Matrix was designed from the ground up to provide the performance and flexibility of compiled languages while providing the ease of use of interactive, interpreted environments.

• O-Matrix runs your m-files significantly faster than MATLAB. O-Matrix was implemented using highly-optimized, hand-tuned C, FORTRAN, and Assembler functions.
• O-Matrix has a low memory footprint. While idle, the program uses about 7MB, Matlab uses over 60MB.
• O-Matrix starts up quickly. On a 2GhZ Pentium 4, O-Matrix starts up, with the prompt available in less than 1 second. Matlab takes close to 5 seconds.
• O-Matrix uses memory much more efficiently than Matlab and most interpreted environments. An application run in O-Matrix typically requires a small fraction of the memory required by Matlab and long running applications do not produce the chewing up of memory which is often witnessed in Matlab.
• O-Matrix supports two languages: mlmode, which is compatible with the Mathworks' Matlab4 product, and O-Matrix which provides many language constructs and capabilities not available in the Matlab language.
• O-Matrix supports multiple data types. Matrices may be character (byte), logical, integer, single-precision, double-precision, or complex double-precision. Multiple data types increases the efficiency of how programs use memory, increase execution performance, and allow more control of numerical accuracy.
• DLLs are more efficient than MEX files. O-Matrix can link user-defined C, C++, or FORTRAN functions using Windows DLLs which provides execution efficiency that is comparable to built-in functions.
• O-Matrix provides COM/Automation client functions that are easier to use and provide much more efficient transfer of data and commands to and from other applications.
• Variables may be defined as constants which allows arguments to functions to be passed by value, and can prevent selected variables from being changed.
• Functions can be passed as arguments to user-defined subroutines.
• "goto" statements are supported for versatile program flow control.
• Function M-files may contain more than one function, and the names of functions do not have to match the filename.
• The GUI development functions in O-Matrix are simpler to use for the rapid development of user-interfaces.
• O-Matrix is designed to be more easily and efficiently used as a computation engine for other applications. The O-Matrix process starts very quickly and can be easily configured to run as a background computation process for front-end programs written with other tools such as Visual Basic, VBA, C++, or C#.
• MATLAB costs too much! O-Matrix is a fraction of the cost of most technical computing solutions and comes with professional, responsive technical support.
• Harmonic Software provides affordable and flexible licensing for distributing your solutions and applications. In addition to reasonably priced single copy licenses for your end users, you can use the O-Matrix Development Kit to distribute your applications without requiring your end users to have an O-Matrix license and without paying recurring license fees.
