This post is just an announcement. I have recently upgraded this site to support multi-lingual translation. Thanks to Angsuman Chakraborty’s development of the WordPress Plugin, Automatic Machine Translation. With it, now the site can translate up to eight different languages, including English, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Korean.
As you can see on the sidebar to the right, there are 9 flags, each representing different countries, and their respective languages. Simply click on your desired flag and the page will automatically translate the current page into the language of your choice almost instantly.
Unfortunately, there is one small issue with the translator, as subsequent navigation from the current page does not automatically produce the translated versions. Meanwhile, the next release of the plugin is almost to be released. I will just have to wait before upgrading to the next version. So, keep an eye on this site!

When you first purchased and installed your MATLAB several months (or a few years) ago, you will find that the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that they supply are either out-dated or obsolete. Actually, I should be saying “obsolete” because in spite of that, MATLAB still functions well with old version of JVM. For instance, the Windows version of Matlab 6.5 will ship along with Sun’s Java Run-time Environment (JRE) version 1.4.2. Only does the latest version of Matlab (v7) comes with JRE version 1.5. Linux (UNIX) users are much luckier in the sense that if the version of your Java VM before Matlab installation is of the latest version, then there isn’t much for you to do. However, if you already have Matlab installed and running an old version of JVM, then chances are you will need to follow some ways to change your JVM. So why do users want to upgrade (or change) their Java VM in Matlab? For me, it is basically out for fun. As for others, it is purely compatibilty of similar version on Java VM platform.
Right, in this post, I will introduce how to change the JVM for Matlab in Linux system. Unfortunately, I will not discuss anything with relate to Windows version of Matlab, although there may be several other posts in Google which you can search to get some results.

If you run a copy of MATLAB, MathWorks Inc. has a set of optimised BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) instructions to be used in the software.
MATLAB uses Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms for its vector inner product, matrix-vector product, matrix-matrix product, and triangular solvers involving “\” commands. MATLAB also uses BLAS behind its core numerical linear algebra routines from Linear Algebra Package (LAPACK), which are used in functions like chol, lu, qr, and within the linear system solver with “\”.

This is my first genuine post in this Wordpress blog. Personally, I would like to set up this blog site, for some interest group personnels who wish to exchange pointers and discuss some of the functions used in our generally-used programming languages, such as C/C++, Java, Labview, MatLab and so on.
If you are interested in my introduction to these programming languages, do not hesistate to read on.
