+Tela (TEnsor LAnguage) is a scientific computing language and
+environment. It is mainly targeted for prototyping large-scale
+numerical simulations and doing pre- and postprocessing for them, and
+it replaces a compiled language like C++ or Fortran in this
+respect. The feature set is therefore biased to operations needed in
+partial differential equation solvers. A relatively complete graphics
+is included via a separate program (PlotMTV). Tela uses HDF format as
+native save/load format. It can also read/write Matlab binary files
+and some ASCII files.
+
+Tela is generally 2-4 times faster than Matlab, the extremeties
+encountered so far are 0.9-11. Even though Tela is mainly a
+prototyping and development environment, modest-size 2D simulations
+can be run in modern desktop workstations while preserving
+"interactive" response times. Only large 2D or 3D simulations must
+usually be coded in C or Fortran and run on supercomputers.
