Some Comparative Benchmarks for Linear Algebra Computations in Matlab and Scientific Python
José Unpingco · 2008
Freely available software and algorithms for numerical computation have been around for at least 20 years. Recently, many of these packages have been consolidated into a python-based scientific computing environment similar to Matlab. In this paper, we compare and discuss benchmarks of common linear algebra matrix computations using Matlab and scientific python (SciPy). The benchmarks presented here are from the user-standpoint without exotic programming in either Matlab or python.
