How to generate .exe file from .m file?

Q) How to Generate an windows executable file (.exe) from a MATLAB script file (.m)?
Ans)

This process of converting non-executable files to executable/sub-executable files is called mexing.

MATLAB is supporting this mexing process, by its MATLAB COMPILER. The MATLAB COMPILER license is required to work with it.

MEXING PROCESS:
Go to the Command Window of MATLAB, and type

mex setup
mcc -m  filename.m 
               % this command generates a .exe file
ls filenae
! cmd &
exit


If the corresponding .dll file must be generated, use the same process listed above, replacing the second line with

mcc -l filename.m
               % this instruction generates a .dll file




Apart from these, MATLAB COMPILER can also generate .hdl file.

NS 2 - Tutorial for beginners 1

Explanation for a Simple Script

Step 1: To start we have to set a few variables like simulator object, trace file and object, nam file and object:
 
set ns [new Simulator]

This would set the simulator with the simulator object which is to be accessed in the script.

Step 2: Then, to set the nam (network animation) file with that 'ns' object and associate with it:

set nf [open out.nam w]

$ns namtrace-all $nf

set tr [open out.tr w]

$ns trace-all $tr
This would set the trace file and would connect to the simulator. The trace file is required to analyze the various packets which are send, received type of application used etc.

Step 3: Now the nodes could be set as many as you want, for loop could be used if many nodes are to be made.

set n0 [$ns node]

Step 4: Creating connection for the various nodes with each other with the band width and rate.

$ns duplex-link $n0 $n1 10Mb 10ms DropTail

Step 5: The nodes could be given with various orientations with this option. right, right-up and right down could be used depending on the node.

$ns duplex-link-op $n0 $n1 orient right-up

Step 6: For the application like TCP or UDP to run, we need to set two agents and the application which should run in between.

When using TCP, we have FTP as the application and TCPsink as the end agent. Connection must be made between TCP and TCPsink , same in udp with cbr and null respectively.

set tcp [new Agent/TCP]
$ns attach-agent $n0 $tcp

This would make a tcp agent and connect it with the node.

Step 7: Connecting the FTP application with TCP

set ftp [new Application/FTP]
$ftp attach-agent $tcp

Step 8: Setting TCPSink to the node where the TCP packets are received:

set agent [new Agent/TCPSink]
$ns attach-agent $n3 $sink

Step 9: Connecting TCP and sink(agents) for making the network flow:

$ns connect $tcp $sink

Step 10: Similarly, for UDP, 

set udp [new Agent/UDP]
$ns attach-agent $n2 $udp

set cbr [new Application/Traffic/CBR]
$cbr attach-agent $udp

set null [new Agent/Null]
$ns attach-agent $n3 $null

$ns connect $udp $null

Step 11: Routing protocols can be used in the simulator using rtmodel (to break the link), rtproto (to use the protocol)

$ns rtmodel-at 1.0 down $n1 $n2

$ns rtmodel-at 2.0 up $n1 $n3

For distance vector we could use

$ns rtproto DV

For linkstate we could use

$ns rtproto LS

When all this is done, the TCP could be started at some point and could call the finish procedure to end. The out.tr file is used to trace the packets. A normal awk command could be used to analyse the packets.

 Step 12:   We could also stop the TCP or UDP in between using stop instead of start, hence nam out.nam need to be used if finish is not used.
$ns at 0.0 "$ftp start"
$ns at 0.0 "$cbr start"

$ns at 5.0 "finish"

Step 13: 'run' is used to run the whole simulation.

$ns run
Step 14: Save the file as example1.tcl; go to terminal and execute

ns example1.tcl

1. How to open Matlab
    Method1: click on matlab shortcut in start menu or on desktop
    Method2: for windows os ::::Press windows+R--->type cmd--->type "matlab"
             for linux os:::::::go to terminal/Konsole--->type "matlab"

Note: It is recommended not to do any action, atleast-for-a-vial, while opening MATLAB because Matlab consumes more RAM while invoking.

MATLAB tutorial for Begineers Part 1

MATLAB is abbreviation for MATrix LABoratory.

MATLAB is an integrated development environment and computer language that enables users to perform computationally intensive tasks.  The software is used for numerical computation tasks, visualization, and mathematical programming.
For more details, see http://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab.

Latest release of MATLAB is R2014a.

As the name emphasis, MATLAB considers every variable/value in terms of matrices.
MatLab vs c: MatLab is not a programming language, but it is a scripting language. In simple English, you use English-like commands in the MatLab program; whereas corresponding c program will run in the background.

So, MatLab program is slower than c program; but is more flexible and lightweight than the former. 


The latest MATLAB constitutes FOUR platforms, within its environment.
1. M-file/Script file platform
2. Simulink
3. GUIDE- Graphical User Interface IDE(Integrated Development  Envinirment)
4. Matlab APPLICATIONS


Note: All these four are not independent, but dependent on each other. It is recommended to start with M-file/script-file programming for a beginner.


Cost of MatLab: MatLab is a proprietary software, but it is worthy-enough to pay for it. Even there is free student version of MatLab, which is available on demand from the mathworks website.
A humble request is to buy the MatLab products, and don't be a part of pirating the software(which is done by many torrent-hosting/file-sharing  websites).
Platform support: MatLab is available in Windows, Unix  and Macintosh platforms. The Unix flavor is used for linux too.
Alternatives to MatLab: In contract, there are free alternatives for MatLab, such as Octave, Scilab,etc. Scilab is available in windows and linux platforms; whereas Octave is available only for Linux platform.

Matlab programs are backward compatible.

MATLAB is a proprietary software, patented by MathWorks Inc.
Though it is commercial, the free student version can be downloaded from MathWorks website, on registration.

Windows in MATLAB:

By default, you will see the default window layout.
Else, to get the default layout of windows in MATLAB, go to File->Desktop->Desktop Layout->Default.

1. Command Window: It is heart of MATLAB, where the response of all inputted commands will the displayed, expect the graphical responses.

2. Command History: It stores all the commands executed in the command window, including the date and time of their execution.
It doesn't store commands executed through script-files.


3. Current Folder (Current working Directory): Indicates the current folder to which matlab is associated. All user-defined functions and other files(images, audio files, video files..) must be in the current folder. Also, the current folder association can also be changed.

4. Workspace: It stores all the variables, their data, data types, and some more information about the variables used in current computations. The variables can be cleared. Closing Matlab, automatically results in clearing of workspace.

5. Editor Window: All the M-files/script files must be written in this editor. Optionally, notepad can also be used as matlab editor, where the file should be saved with .m extension to make an M-file. But, Editor Window has some advanced options like direct execution, publishing, ...

6. Figure Window: All the graphical responses will be displayed in this window. By default, it saves with .fig extension; but there are options to save as conventional file formats like .jpg. .png,...

 File Types in MATLAB:

1) .m files -> These are the Matlab script files. user-defined functions are also saved as .m files.
2) .fig files -> The default file type to save the images/figures. The GUIDE files are also saved with .fig extension.
3) .mdl files -> The Simulink Model files are saved with .mdl extension. mdl files are text files.
4) .slx files -> New file format to save the simulink models, release from R2012a. SLX is a compressed file that contains model information in XML format.
 Note: It is optional to the user to choose between .mdl and .slx extensions.

5).mat files-> It is similar to the .dat file, used to store data.


Apart from these proprietary file formats, Matlab supports few file formats to import and export data.

SUMO installation in linux (Debian/Ubuntu/Mint)

SUMO-Simulation of Urban Mobility

  • SUMO an open source, portal, microscopic, multi-modal road traffic simulation.
  • It allows for intermodal simulation including pedestrians and comes with a large set of tools for scenario creation. 
  • It allows to simulate as to how a given traffic demand which consists of single vehicles moves through a given road network.
  • The simulator allows to address a large set of traffic management topics.
  • It is purely microscopic: each vehicle is modeled explicitly, has an own route, and moves individually through the network.

SUMO Installation Procedure:

Installation in Linux and mac OS

Step I: Install two pre-requisite packages to build SUMO with GUI. Go to terminal and run:

$ sudo apt-get install libgdal1-dev proj libxerces-c2-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libfox-1.6-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev

Step II: If you are using Unbuntu 12.04 or older versions, as it doesn't ship with libgdal package, create a symbolic link:

$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgdal1.7.0.so /usr/lib/libgdal

Note: Ubuntu 14.04 doesnt require this step. It comes inbuilt with libgdal package.

Step 1: Download the SUMO source by clicking here. At the time of this writing, it was version sumo-src-0.26.0.tar.gz.

Step 2: In terminal, go to the directory where the sumo-src-0.26.0.tar.gz is downloaded, and extract it.

$ tar -xzvf sumo-src-0.26.0.tar.gz

Step 3: Move the decompressed directory to '/usr/local/src' location:

$ sudo mv -v sumo-0.26.0 /usr/local/src

Step 4: Become a sudo user for making the configuration. Skip this step if you have the previlages.

$ sudo su -

Step 5: Go to the /usr/local/src location and call configure, make and make install:

$ cd /usr/local/src/sumo-0.26.0

$ ./configure --with-fox-includes=/usr/include/fox-1.6 \
--with-gdal-includes=/usr/include/gdal --with-proj-libraries=/usr \
--with-gdal-libraries=/usr --with-proj-gdal

Step 6: Then, run 'make'

$ make
$ sudo make install

Step 7: Finally, to open SUMO, go to terminal and run:

$ sumo-gui


For more details about SUMO, go to their homesite.


Post your installation issues in the comment section.

how to know whether my linux system is 32 bit or 64 bit ?

Generally, during any software installation, one gets puzzled regarding the system architecture i.e., whether the PC/desktop is 32 bit or 64 bit build...

Simplest way to know is here.

Step1: Open the terminal.

Step 2: type uname -a
Result for 32-bit Ubuntu:
Linux discworld 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386GNU/Linux
whereas the 64-bit Ubuntu will show:
Linux discworld 2.6.38-8-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Mon Apr 11 03:31:50 UTC 2011 x86_64 x86_64x86_64 GNU/Linux

Identify whether it is i386 or x86_64; correspondingly it is 32 bit or 64 bit build architecture, respectively.


Note: There are many other alternative ways in Linux, to determine the system architecture; but, this is probably the simplest way.

Tcl tutorial for Begineers

Initially, we should get ns or tcl shell installed to work with tcl script. 
If you didn't install ns2, click here for the installation procedure. Else, follow the tutorial. 
After installing ns-2, type ns in terminal. Then, there appears % symbol, which symbolizes the invokement of tcl shell script.
Note(optional): TCL scripting individually can be practiced with in Linux system with tcl shell scripting.

NS-2 Network Simulator

For the latest information about the ns Network Simulator, go to the ns manual ay http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/  or http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/ns-documentation.html .

For examples, go to the downloaded ns package folder at ns-2/tcl/ex. In addition, other tutorials include the Marc Greis’s tutorial and the tutorial by Jae Chung - Mark Claypool.

Ns simulator is based on two languages: C++ as the back-end and the oTcl (object-oriented version of tool command language, tcl) as the front-end. NS is a discrete event simulator, where the advance of time depends on the timing of events, which are maintained by a scheduler.

Some Esssential Commands List:

ns – command to verify the installation of tcl shell script and ns network simulator
ns-version – command to return the ns version
ns-random – command to return a random number, uniformly distributed between [0-(231-1)].

ns-random varvar  is used to set the seed to random number generator.
