Natick-based MathWorks said its MATLAB data analysis program has been selected for use by thousands of researchers at all of Sweden’s universities.
The mathematical computing software developer said this is its first access arrangement with a nation. The deal with the Swedish National Infrastructure for Computing (SNIC) will make MATLAB programs available on six high-performance computer clusters at universities across the Scandinavian country.
“MATLAB is a key data analysis tool for many researchers in the Sweden community,” Peter Munger, associate scientific director at one of the SNIC centers, said in a statement. “Now, researchers can reduce the time to solution in a scalable manner without having to become parallel programming or HPC (high-performance computing) experts.”
The open-application procedure will support large-scale computation and research in fields such as electronics, financial services and biotech, according to MathWorks. The arrangement will allow researchers to develop MATLAB applications on their own computers and easily scale them to the high-performance computer infrastructure.
