MATLAB Alternatives 2026: Benchmarks & Compatibility Compared
We benchmarked 4 MATLAB alternatives on real engineering workloads — loop performance, GPU acceleration, and .m file compatibility. One runs existing scripts with zero rewrites.
Version Control for Engineers Who Don't Use Git
Most engineers -- from MATLAB scripting to FPGA verification to test automation -- don't use version control because git wasn't built for them. RunMat gives engineers automatic versioning, snapshots, and audit trails without the cognitive overhead of learning a developer tool.
In Defense of MATLAB: Why Engineers Still Need Whiteboard-Style Code
MATLAB still shines for math-heavy work. Its whiteboard-style syntax makes code easy to read, review, and run on modern tools like RunMat and fast GPUs.

Durable Project State: Introducing RunMat Cloud
RunMat launched last August as a CLI. In November we added GPU acceleration with Accelerate. Now the sandbox puts the full runtime in your browser, and RunMat Cloud makes it persistent: projects, run history, version snapshots, and collaboration.
The Worst Debugging Tool in MATLAB Is the One You Use Every Day
fprintf is a formatting function that got conscripted into debugging because MATLAB never shipped anything better. Here's what it's actually for, what it costs you as a debugger, and what to use instead.
MATLAB For Loops Are Slow, But Not for the Reason You Think
MATLAB for loops are slow because of interpreter overhead, not because iteration is inherently expensive. Here's what actually causes the slowdown, what vectorization costs you, and how a compiled runtime changes the tradeoff.

Mission-Critical Math: The Full Platform Inside Your Airgap
RunMat brings modern scientific computing to airgapped environments. A single binary with GPU acceleration, real-time collaboration, AI-assisted analysis, and ITAR-aligned compliance -- all running offline.

From Ad-Hoc Checkpoints to Reliable Large Data Persistence
Why ad-hoc checkpoints break down for large numerical workloads, where persistence actually fails, and how chunked, content-addressed storage makes heavy outputs durable and shareable.
Restoring Historical Run State for Scientific and Numerical Calculations
A practical guide to restoring historical run state for scientific and numerical workflows, so teams can investigate issues without expensive re-execution.
