For DSP : The Ultimate Graphical Modeling, Simulation, and Prototyping Environment
Simulink is an interactive tool for modeling, simulating and prototyping
discrete, analog, and mixed signal systems. As an integral part of the
MATLAB DSP environment, Simulink helps you simulate algorithms and evaluate
alternatives early in the design process. With the DSP Blockset, Simulink
enables you to build block diagrams, simulate dynamic systems, evaluate
system performance, and iterate your designs for complex DSP algorithms.
interface for constructing block diagram models using "drag-and-drop" operations.
You can easily tune architectural details as you move toward implementation.
Check out our latest version, SIMULINK 2.

Highlights
Interactive Modeling. Simulink features an extensive
block library that lets you build models of dynamic systems quickly and
easily. You simply "drag and drop" components from the block library and
connect them using a mouse. You can create hierarchical models by grouping
blocks into subsystems. There are no limits on the number of blocks or
connections.
Live Simulations. Simulink's interactive, extensible simulation
environment allows you to tune algorithm efficiency while keeping your
designs at a high level to take advantage of new, more powerful processor
architectures. After building a block diagram, you can run interactive
simulations and view the results "live". Plug in scope blocks, frequency
analyzers, and other live graphical tools to provide immediate analysis
of your system. You can also interactively or automatically adjust model
parameters during simulation runs.
Extensible and Customizable. Simulink provides an open
architecture that allows you to extend the simulation environment by:
-
Creating custom blocks and block libraries with your own icons and user
interfaces from MATLAB, Fortran, or C code
-
Linking in pre-existing Fortran and C simulation code to preserve your
validated models.
Integration with MATLAB and Toolboxes. Because Simulink
provides immediate access to the mathematical, graphical, and programming
capabilities of MATLAB, you can analyze data, automate procedures, and
optimize parameters directly from Simulink. The advanced design and analysis
capabilities of the toolboxes can be executed from within a simulation
using the mask facility in Simulink.
Special-Purpose Blocksets. The Simulink block library
can be extended with special-purpose blocksets. The DSP Blockset can be
used for DSP algorithm development, while the Fixed-Point Blockset extends
Simulink for modeling and simulating digital control systems and digital
filters.
Code Generation. With Real-Time Workshop, you can generate
C code from Simulink models. The generated code is compatible with most
floating point DSP processors or boards.
The Simulink Simulation Environment
Simulink provides the right set of tools for fast, accurate modeling and
simulation. Simulink features an extensive block library for building complex
models, convenient tools for monitoring simulation results, and tight integration
with MATLAB for access to the most comprehensive collection of design and
analysis tools.
