O-Matrix is a high-performance, matrix oriented
language and integrated environment for analyzing
data, creating simulations, visualizing results,
and building turnkey scientific and engineering
computing solutions. The O-Matrix language
includes a broad range of mathematical,
statistical, engineering, plotting, and
user-interface building functions for solving a
broad range of technical computing problems.
O-Matrix enables you to solve technical
analysis and simulation problems faster than with
traditional programming languages such as C++ and
FORTRAN, and provides performance that far exceeds
other integrated math and engineering software
tools.
O-Matrix has been designed from the ground up
for accuracy and high-performance. The O-Matrix
environment enables you to both prototype designs
and perform large scale analysis within the
integrated environment. O-Matrix has been built
using highly optimized C/C++, FORTRAN, and
assembly code to provide optimal execution
performance. The linear algebra routines in
O-Matrix are based on the algorithms from BLAS,
LINPACK, and LAPACK to provide robust, accurate
solutions.
O-Matrix provides an extensive set of functions
for implementing solutions in a broad range of
technical computing disciplines. Functions are
highly optimized and designed to be easy-to-use
for prototyping applications and extensible for
specialized requirements. Most functions include
complete source code to allow you to review the
implementation and modify it to your own
requirements if necessary.
The syntax of the O-Matrix language is a hybrid
of BASIC, and other matrix languages providing a
very easy-to-learn and compact syntax where the
notation of algorithms reflects the mathematics
they represent. A few lines of O-Matrix code can
often duplicate the functionality of many pages of
FORTRAN or other compiled-language code. Common
vector and matrix operations are part of the
language syntax and numerical functions operate
with scalars, vectors, and matrices of integer,
real, and complex-valued types.
The O-Matrix syntax makes it simple to create
short, single-file solutions and possible to
create large applications that span numerous
files. O-Matrix provides object oriented
capabilities and language features typically only
found in languages such as C++, Java, and Python.
End user solutions in O-Matrix range from a few
commands entered at the command prompt to tens of
thousands of lines of code spanning dozens files.
(Numerous examples of typical O-Matrix solutions
are available in the omwin/example directory of
the distribution.)
In addition to the O-Matrix syntax, the
O-Matrix language can run scripts and functions
written in the Matlab language.
O-Matrix provides extensive capabilities for
working with data from files, applications,
devices, and databases. Directly load data from
formats such as Excel, text files, HDF, WAV files,
and PLT files. Low-level utilities are provided to
enable importing and creation of arbitrary ASCII
or binary data. Using the O-Matrix OLE/COM
Automation functions you can leverage the data
import and export capabilities of other
applications. O-Matrix can link with compiled
objects from languages such as C/C++ and FORTRAN
to enable the use of custom data input and output
routines from within the O-Matrix language.
The O-Matrix data access and manipulation
routines are highly optimized and can efficiently
work with data sets that contain hundreds of
thousands of data points and using many megabytes.
The import of a multi-megabyte file in O-Matrix
takes a fraction of the time needed by Excel, and
is typically much quicker than the same algorithm
implemented in a compiled language.
O-Matrix excels at manipulating and formatting
data. Numeric and textual data can be re-formatted
as it is loaded or manipulated after loading.
Flexible routines are provided to enable
sophisticated formatting and manipulation of
various data formats.
