MATLAB Runtime Server

Computation and the MATLAB Engine API

The MATLAB Runtime Server uses the same MATLAB Engine Application Program Interface (API) that commercial MATLAB uses. The MATLAB documentation contains useful information about the MATLAB Engine API and interprocess communication. You might need to consult MATLAB documentation while developing your MATLAB runtime engine application. However, some special issues affect the design, coding, testing, and packaging of applications that are destined for use with the Runtime Server rather than with the full MATLAB Engine API. This chapter describes such special issues as they relate to MATLAB runtime engine applications.

Note    MATLAB runtime engine applications can communicate with MATLAB via routines from the Engine API library (e.g., engGetArray) or via other means such as ActiveX and pipes.
