Allocate memory efficiently in Matlab-to-C code

When developing algorithms for communication, signal processing and controls, Matlab is the de facto standard development environment. Matlab's syntax and toolbox functions facilitate algorithm exploration and refinement.

At some point, however, a Matlab algorithm must be ported to another implementation, typically C. Embedded systems, in which many algorithms eventually end up as software, can impose additional requirements on memory usage. This article looks at how data storage in Matlab translates to memory allocation in C for embedded systems.
