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 (1994) 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. |
