The MATLAB Gateway Compiler. A Tool For Automatic Linking of Fortran Routines to MATLAB

Abstract In this paper we present the MATLAB gateway compiler, a tool to automatically create a gateway function for any FORTRAN routine to be used in MATLAB. We illustrate the power of this tool by showing how speed and accuracy can considerably be improved when interfacing FORTRAN routines of the software library SLICOT. Currently a similar tool is under development for the Matrix-X package
