Compatibility

What MATLAB functions does SIMO have?

SIMO supports the most commonly used language syntax and functions. If you do not need specialised functions, it will probably satisfy your need. You are strongly recommended to check out our free app Console. It shares the same MATLAB interpreter with SIMO. If you find Console useful, SIMO will definitely work for you. Moreover, Console comes with the full set of documentation. You can check out the list of supported functions.

Can my existing MATLAB code run in SIMO?

Your MATLAB code will run perfectly in SIMO, unless it uses functions that are not yet included in SIMO. ​You are strongly recommended to check out our free app Console. It shares the same MATLAB interpreter with SIMO. If your code runs in Console, it will run in SIMO.

Does SIMO have a limit of the array size?

No, there is no limit. You can create as many arrays as you need, and there is no limit on array size whatsoever. However, SIMO may crash when it cannot get enough memory from the operating system, although it rarely happens for average use. If you experience crashing, you may want to refactor your code to use fewer variables.
