About RunMat
RunMat (by Dystr) is a fast, free, open-source alternative for running MATLAB code.
Users can run their existing .m files with complete MATLAB language grammar and core semantics. No license fees, no lock-in. 300+ built-in functions supported.
RunMat is built with a modern Rust runtime featuring a tiered execution model: an interpreter (Ignition) for instant 5ms startup and a JIT compiler (Turbine/Cranelift) for hot paths. GPU acceleration is automatic via a fusion engine that detects elementwise operation chains and dispatches them as optimized GPU kernels across NVIDIA, AMD, Apple Silicon, and Intel GPUs through Metal, DirectX 12, Vulkan, and WebGPU. Up to 131x faster than NumPy and 7x faster than PyTorch on dense numerical workloads.
Runs everywhere: CLI, NPM package, Homebrew, Jupyter kernel, or instantly in the browser via WebAssembly + WebGPU. Single portable binary. MIT licensed.

YAKINDU Model Viewer
YAKINDU Model Viewer (YMV) is a tool designed for the viewing of models created with MATLAB Simulink and shows the corresponding block diagrams with a similar look and feel as in Simulink. YAKINDU Model Viewer gives you the flexibility to quickly navigate, explore, and search very large and complex models. It provides browser-like navigation on diagrams, allowing a fast drill-down of the system hierarchy. It also features rich visualization, signal tracing, requirements tracing, gesture-based interactions, and much more. YAKINDU Model Viewer provides various views to visualize a model’s outline and the properties of elements.

MATLAB
MATLAB® combines a desktop environment tuned for iterative analysis and design processes with a programming language that expresses matrix and array mathematics directly. It includes the Live Editor for creating scripts that combine code, output, and formatted text in an executable notebook. MATLAB toolboxes are professionally developed, rigorously tested, and fully documented. MATLAB apps let you see how different algorithms work with your data. Iterate until you’ve got the results you want, then automatically generate a MATLAB program to reproduce or automate your work. Scale your analyses to run on clusters, GPUs, and clouds with only minor code changes. There’s no need to rewrite your code or learn big data programming and out-of-memory techniques. Automatically convert MATLAB algorithms to C/C++, HDL, and CUDA code to run on your embedded processor or FPGA/ASIC. MATLAB works with Simulink to support Model-Based Design.

PyTorch
Transition seamlessly between eager and graph modes with TorchScript, and accelerate the path to production with TorchServe. Scalable distributed training and performance optimization in research and production is enabled by the torch-distributed backend. A rich ecosystem of tools and libraries extends PyTorch and supports development in computer vision, NLP and more. PyTorch is well supported on major cloud platforms, providing frictionless development and easy scaling. Select your preferences and run the install command. Stable represents the most currently tested and supported version of PyTorch. This should be suitable for many users. Preview is available if you want the latest, not fully tested and supported, 1.10 builds that are generated nightly. Please ensure that you have met the prerequisites (e.g., numpy), depending on your package manager. Anaconda is our recommended package manager since it installs all dependencies.
