About RunMat
RunMat (by Dystr) is a fast, free, open-source alternative for running MATLAB code.
Users can run their existing MATLAB code with complete language grammar and core semantics. No license fees, no lock-in.
RunMat is built with a modern compiler, which enables blazing-fast calculations. It boots in 5 milliseconds, GPU optimization is enabled by default, and it's a single, compact, cross-platform binary.
Typical engineering use cases
- Controls/signal processing & numerics: accelerate MATLAB-style loops plus heavy linear algebra; enjoy faster iteration due to instant startup and tiered JIT.
- Batch/CI & serverless jobs: snapshots + compact binaries make it easy to run .m workloads in containers or ephemeral runners at scale.
- Plot-heavy workflows: interactive GPU plots for exploratory analysis and reportable exports for stakeholders.
- Education: remove license friction and start labs instantly; Jupyter kernel supports reproducible worksheets.

MATLAB
MATLAB® combines a desktop environment tuned for iterative analysis and design processes with a programming language that expresses matrix and array mathematics directly. It includes the Live Editor for creating scripts that combine code, output, and formatted text in an executable notebook. MATLAB toolboxes are professionally developed, rigorously tested, and fully documented. MATLAB apps let you see how different algorithms work with your data. Iterate until you’ve got the results you want, then automatically generate a MATLAB program to reproduce or automate your work. Scale your analyses to run on clusters, GPUs, and clouds with only minor code changes. There’s no need to rewrite your code or learn big data programming and out-of-memory techniques. Automatically convert MATLAB algorithms to C/C++, HDL, and CUDA code to run on your embedded processor or FPGA/ASIC. MATLAB works with Simulink to support Model-Based Design.

DataMelt
DataMelt (or "DMelt") is an environment for numeric computation, data analysis, data mining, computational statistics, and data visualization. DataMelt can be used to plot functions and data in 2D and 3D, perform statistical tests, data mining, numeric computations, function minimization, linear algebra, solving systems of linear and differential equations. Linear, non-linear and symbolic regression are also available. Neural networks and various data-manipulation methods are integrated using Java API. Elements of symbolic computations using Octave/Matlab scripting are supported.
DataMelt is a computational environment for Java platform. It can be used with different programming languages on different operating systems. Unlike other statistical programs, it is not limited to a single programming language. This software combines the world's most-popular enterprise language, Java, with the most popular scripting language used in data science, such as Jython (Python), Groovy, JRuby.
