In-Reply-To: <49E684A4.1060009@ele.uri.edu> References: <49E684A4.1060009@ele.uri.edu> Message-ID: <4A01813D.8000204@ele.uri.edu> Dear Students, Summer classes need at least 9 students to run, or URI CCE summer program will initiate cancellation on May 15, which occurs the week *before* classes start. So please do not wait until the first week of classes to register, or it may be too late. CCE just sent me a message saying that ELE 215, 341 and 342 recently had 6-8 students enrolled, and need just a few more students to register for the course to run. If you're planning on taking these courses, please enroll now. If you've already registered, please encourage your colleagues to take the summer class with you so that the class will not be cancelled. Unfortunately, ELE 325 and 331 only have 0-2 students registered currently, and will likely be canceled. regards, Prof. BB G.

Walk-ins are welcome. 1:15 - 3:00 p.m. - Speeding Up MATLAB Applications In this session, we will demonstrate simple ways to improve and optimize your code that can boost execution speed by orders of magnitude. We will also address common pitfalls in writing M-code, explore the use of the MATLAB Profiler to find bottlenecks, and briefly introduce the use of Parallel Computing Toolbox and MATLAB Distributed Computing Server to solve computationally and data-intensive problems on multicore computers and clusters. Highlights include: * Understand memory usage and vectorization in MATLAB * Address bottlenecks in your programs * Optimize file I/O to streamline your code * Transition from serial to parallel MATLAB programs * Execute applications on a single multicore or multiprocessor desktop 3:00 - 3:30 p.m. - Introduction to Simulink In this short session, we will provide a brief overview of Simulink, an environment for multidomain simulation and model-based design for dynamic and embedded systems. Highlights include: * Modeling dynamic systems * Using customizable block libraries 3:30 - 4:00 p.m. - Open Q&A 4:00 - 4:30 p.m. - MATLAB license options at the University of Rhode Island This session will review the existing license options for faculty, staff, and students. The details of a newer license option, the Total Academic Headcount [TAH] license, will also be introduced. The TAH license option provides access to MathWorks products for an entire university campus. You can contact Ken Cleveland of The MathWorks if you have any questions or need additional information. Attendees are welcome to come for entire afternoon, or come and go as your schedule permits. Please register today if you're interested in attending though, this will help us plan for the correct number of hand outs: www.mathworks.com/seminars/uri0509 Best regards, Ken Ken Cleveland The MathWorks Academic Sales 508.647.8005 From boud at ele.uri.edu Wed May 13 09:06:15 2009 From: boud at ele.uri.edu (G.
