GitLab's issues for MPScilab

Description

            The MPScilab toolbox provides a datatype and functions to perform
arbitrary precision matrix arithmetic. This release of MPScilab should be
considered a preview and only basic functions are implemented. Bugs and features
requests can be filed in the Scilab forge issue tracker for the project :

http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/mpscilab/issues/

Main features :

The toolbox introduce a new arbitrary precision full matrix datatype. By using
GMP and MPFR as the computing backend the toolbox also provides a set of basic
functions to manipulate this new datatype. Most functions are able to mix
multi-precision data with the native Scilab matrix of double.

Overview of available functions :

- Basic element-wise addition, subtraction, multiplication and division
- Element wise exponential, square root etc...
- Matrix transposition, multiplication and inversion
- Trigonometric and hyperbolic functions
- Basic comparisons and min/max

A short tutorial is included in the online help available from within Scilab.

WINDOWS NOTE : On Windows the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Runtime may be required
to run the toolbox.

IMPORTANT NOTE : Even if written as such it is not possible to install the
toolbox automatically by running atomsInstall("MPScilab"). To install
MPScilab from the binary distribution one must first download the correct file
for the targeted platform. Then from within Scilab the module can be install by
running atomsInstall with the compressed file as argument.

For example on 64 bit Linux :

atomsInstall("/home/jo/MPScilab_0.1-1.bin.x86_64.linux.tar.gz")

Hi,

This is an addition that is very interesting for me. 

What are the main features of this module ? On which library is it based ?

On my Windows 32 bits, I was not able to install the module. I tried Scilab 5.3.1 and 5.3.2

:

-->atomsSystemUpdate()
-->atomsInstall('MPScilab')
atomsInstallList: The package MPScilab is not available.
 !--error 10000 

at line      51 of function atomsError called by :  
at line      76 of function atomsInstallList called by :  
at line     227 of function atomsInstall called by :  
atomsInstall('MPScilab')

Can this be linked with the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Runtime requirement ?

Regards,

Michaël Baudin

The module must be installed manually. I am not certain why ATOMS states that it is
possible to install it directly but it's not possible. I will update the description to
include manual install instructions.

Hi,

I am interested in this module.  I installed it manually and I believe it is installed 
correctly.  I get the following:

My question is how do I access the short tutorial mentioned above and/or what are some of 
the function names so I can type 'help functionname'?

"A short tutorial is included in the online help available from within Scilab."

I have searched Scilab help for MPScilab and get nothing.  Does this tutorial exist?  Is 
there other documentation available?

Thanks,

Leonard

Hi,

If you open the Scilab help there should be a section name mpscilab under it in a
subsection named Introduction contains basic information about MPScilab, especially the
sub-section 3-MPScilab Basics contains the tutorial.

Hope this help,

Jonathan Blanchard

Thank you for your response.  I think that after manually installing I needed to restart 
Scilab before the help files were available.  After restarting this morning, I now see the

mpscilab help files and I'm on my way.  Thanks.
