Simulink Performance Tools 1.0 Release Notes


Introduction to the Simulink Performance Tools

The Simulink Performance Tools are an optional, separately priced, set of tools that enhance your Simulink development environment. The Simulink Performance Tools are new with Release 12. The Simulink Performance Tools consist of:

The Simulink Accelerator

The Simulink Accelerator speeds simulation of a Simulink model. It does this by first compiling a model into executable code, and then running the compiled version.

The Model Coverage Tool

The Model Coverage Tool reports the extent to which simulation of a model exercises possible execution pathways through the model. See "Performance Tools" in the online help for Simulink.

The Graphical Merge Tool

The Graphical Merge Tool displays differences between two Simulink models. For example, the tool displays all blocks that exist in both models but have different attributes and all blocks that are present in only one of the two models. The tool documentation does not document the following feature. You can use the mdldiff command to compare two libraries. Type help mdldiff at the MATLAB command prompt for more information.

The Model Profiler

The Model Profiler generates and displays a profile of a simulation run. The profile shows how much time Simulink spent in each function required to simulate the model.
