| Mex files are functions written in C or C++ that are callable in the Matlab scripting language in a Matlab interpretor. [http://www.mathworks.com/matlab Matlab] is a 'Matrix Laboratory', a general purpose scientific scripting language owned by [http://www.mathworks.com The Mathworks] company.

| Details of writing mex files can be found in the [http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/matlab_external/bp_kqh7.html Matlab documentation].

| | |
| Matlab is a language with a good syntax for working with matrices, a variety of functions, excellent documentation, and it is ubiquitous throughout the academic, scientific community. On the other hand, it is extremely slow, has poor memory utilization, is prohibitively expensive, sees little use outside academia, has a language syntax that is only good for simple procedural scripting, is closed source, and has numerous bugs. Writing mex files is often an attempt to address some of these limitations -- speed and memory usage. However, it is a difficult and not very elegant solution. Instead, researchers should consider using superior products, such as [http://scipy.org SciPy], [http://www.scilab.org SciLab], [http://www.sagemath.org/ Sage], or [http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/index.html Octave].
