HI
Well if you are getting it done in seconds on Matlab, then you likely don't
need Matlab very badly. Around here a typical Matlab setup is indeed CPU bound
for a *lot* longer than that during a normal work day. Two or three hours a day
is not at all unusual.

Yes..we use it too, and for anyone who uses Matlab, Octave is nice to
have as well. For instance, we have a centralized license server for
Matlab, and if you're incommunicado, you're stuck, but with
their own code as they choose on the Windows PC. Works for us.

Somehow I suspect the MSP430 launchpad won't run windows/Linux and
Matlab, eh?

Hi
Ummm, er you want to run Matlab and you are likely paying $100 an hour to
whom ever is waiting on the machine. My *guess* is that a micro board of what
ever flavor will do an arbitrary Matlab run in maybe 30 days. That same run
would take something large about 30 minutes. That of course

You pay quite a premium for a Supermicro mobo over say an Asus, which is
the atom D525 mobo I am using. [Supermicro didn't have one at the time.]
The newer atoms address more RAM. But if you are going to run Matlab,
you might want to consider the low power Xeon CPUs. Yes, that sounds
nuts on

Thanks, I'll take a look.. The ability to poke at the device remotely
at a very low level is quite useful (e.g. if it's unattended).

There is an open source equivalent of Matlab called Octave. If you are
doing data acquisition, GPIB linux is kind of ugly. But if you are doing
computation, Octave might be suitable.
