Use precompiled libraries for MATLAB functions

Instruct the code generator to favor usage of either precompiled libraries or alternative implementations

Since R2024b

Model Configuration Pane: Simulation Target

Description

This parameter specifies the extent to which the code generated for the MATLAB® functions in your model includes calls to precompiled libraries.

For certain precompiled libraries (for example, BLAS, LAPACK, and FFTW), there exist individual configuration parameters that allow you to customize their usage in the generated code. The Use precompiled libraries for MATLAB functions parameter does not affect the use of these libraries.

Settings

Prefer precompiled libraries when available | Avoid precompiled libraries when possible
Prefer precompiled libraries when available

The code generator prefers to use the available platform-specific precompiled libraries.

For simulation or C/C++ code generation, this value is the default value.

This setting is an appropriate choice when you want to optimize the performance of your model or the generated code for specific platforms.

Avoid precompiled libraries when possible

The code generator uses precompiled libraries only if no alternative implementations of their algorithms are available.

For GPU acceleration or code generation, this value is the default value.

This setting is useful when you want to create portable applications that can run on many platforms.
