All About Software in the Loop in MATLAB

Many companies are using automatic C code generation to convert their MATLAB functions to C code. This alleviates the time-consuming task of porting complex algorithms to C. While this accelerates the process of going from MATLAB to C, the bottleneck of verifying the C code remains. This is where Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) comes in. SIL is a verification technique using a MATLAB testbench to drive an executable running outside MATLAB. SIL verifies your generated C code is correct and it profiles performance without writing code and all in the MATLAB environment.
