Performance
Improvements Maple
continues
to make improvements
to the efficiency
of the computation
engine, resulting
in faster
computations
that use
less memory.
Maple 12
highlights:
Many
block-copy
operations
on matrices
can now be
done much
more efficiently,
since no
intermediate
object needs
to be created.
The expansion of large symbolic polynomials
has been improved.
Several enhancements have been made
to the zip command, resulting in
speed-ups of over 100 times in some cases.
"Without the Maple software, we would have to spend weeks generating the equations of motion for every experiment. Then the chances that we did it right would basically be near zero. There would always be a mistake somewhere. It is very difficult to set up a dynamic motion model by hand." - Jean-Claude PiedBeouf, Ph.D Manager of Robotics, Canadian Space Agency
"Its very good - highly accurate and easy to use. The speed of Maple allows me to change equations and quickly reintegrate them into the application, so more possibilities can be explored to achieve the precise effect desired." Shawn Neely, Senior R & D Director for PDI/Dreamworks
