<title>Embedded MATLAB Design Optimizations: C code Customization, Fixed-Point, and HDL</title>
<link>http://www.mathworks.com/webinars</link>
<description>&lt;strong&gt;Live Webinar 10/21/08: Embedded MATLAB Design Optimizations: C code Customization, Fixed-Point, and HDL&lt;/strong&gt;

&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;

In this webinar, we will showcase new tools and capabilities of MathWorks products enabling you to optimize your MATLAB-to-implementation workflow with the Embedded MATLAB language subset. Embedded MATLAB consists of more than 270 MATLAB operators and functions and 100 Fixed-Point Toolbox functions that can be compiled into efficient and numerically reliable code, for embedded applications. We examine various stages of the design workflow from modeling and simulation, to converting the design from a floating-point to a fixed-point representation, and finally automatically generating C code or VHDL/Verilog code for deployment onto DSP or FPGA hardware.&lt;br/&gt;
Through demonstrations, you will learn how to use specific features of MATLAB, Fixed-Point Toolbox, Simulink, Real-Time Workshop, Simulink HDL Coder, and related products to:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

- Customize your generated code for design constructs such as stream processing, persistent state variables and complex numbers&lt;br/&gt;
- Ensure your algorithms is consistent with the Embedded MATLAB subset by using the M-Lint checker of the MATLAB Editor&lt;br/&gt; 
- Streamline the process of converting your design from a floating-point to a fixed-point numerical representation&lt;br/&gt; 
- Automatically generate C code (both floating-point and fixed-point) from your Embedded MATLAB code directly from MATLAB desktop&lt;br/&gt; 
- Automatically generate VHDL/Verilog code from Simulink models that include the Embedded MATLAB blocks&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt; 
 
Two Sessions: 9:00am and 2:00pm EDT&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

Scientists in biotech and pharmaceutical research face a variety of challenges when analyzing data. Time and cost constraints often limit the amount of data that can be acquired. In many cases, the quality of the data makes it difficult to extract trends or estimate uncertainty. Sometimes there is too much data and identifying the most significant explanatory variables can be troublesome. Specifying which model best describes the data often requires a choice between competing models that initially appear to have similar goodness-of-fit measures.
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; 
Computational statistics provides a variety of applied quantitative methods that help solve these challenges including:&lt;br/&gt;  

Â Bootstrap Â compensates for small sample sizes&lt;br/&gt; 
Â Partial Least Squares Â transforms poor quality data into a useable form&lt;br/&gt; 
Â Feature Selection - identifies which variables have the most impact on a model&lt;br/&gt; 
Â Cross Validation - improves model evaluation and selection&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; 

This webinar highlights how the interactive analysis tools in MATLABÂ®, Statistics ToolboxÂ, and Curve Fitting ToolboxÂ support computational statistics.
