xample illustrates how to use MATLAB to explore, extract, and display satellite remote sensing data sets distributed by the National Aeronautical and Space Administration (NASA) in Hierarchical Data Format (HDF).
Using mmap greatly outperforms the default approach of reading data using the open()/read() combination. The downside of mapping a file into memory is that it takes away valuable address space.
RLaBdoes not try to be a Matlab clone. Instead, it borrows what I believe are the best features of the Matlab language and provides improved language syntax and semantics.
