Porting researchy Matlab code to optimized Fortran or C could potentially give you the same results as throwing more hardware at the problem, but cheaper and probably faster.
- gwern 14y agoBut unless the optimizations change the complexity, you're still going to be very limited: the constant factors may let you go from 1 cell in Matlab to 100 cells in C on the same hardware, but that's still just 100 cells and now you're stuck.
