What Is MATLAB Coder?

MATLAB Coder generates readable and portable C+ and C++ code from your MATLAB algorithms. This automated approach speeds up your design workflow and eliminates coding errors introduced by a manual translation process. Generated code can be compiled as a standalone executable, packaged as a library, or handed off to software engineers for integration with software projects. You can deploy the generated code on a wide variety of hardware platforms.

MATLAB Coder supports most of the MATLAB language and a wide range of toolboxes. Supported applications range from general, signal, and image processing, including deep learning, to advanced DSP and communications systems development. You can generate MEX functions and execute them with the same MATLAB unit tests to verify the behavior of the generated code against your original MATLAB algorithm. In some cases, MEX functions can also be used to accelerate the execution of your algorithms.

MATLAB Coder lets you select and explore a design trade-offs, such as memory versus speed optimizations. This enables you to iterate and optimize your designs faster while spending less time writing and debugging low level C+ and C++ code. You can use MATLAB Coder with Embedded Coder to access advanced settings that enables you to control the look and feel of the generated code and tune it for performance or readability.
