Planned support for code generation of sparse optimisation using quadprog()

Hi,

Is there any plan to introduce support for code generation of alternative solvers/sparse matrices for the quadprog function?

Currently code generation is only supported for the active-set method and for non-sparse matrices. This is great for small problems (such as those encountered in MPC), but is not appropriate for large problems (embedded trajectory optimisation for example).

I am currently working on a industrial project that needs to encorparate this in embedded hardware. Any infomation on future plans would be very helpful.

Many thanks,

Will.

Hi Will,

You might want to check out FORCES PRO from embotech. Their solver can for sure be used with Simulink Real-Time, though I'm not sure to which extend it would fulfill your requirements about sparse matrices.

Best,

Dimitri

Thanks Dimitri,

Agreed, this is a good option - and is currently my planned route forward. But if mathworks are planning on enhancing their functionality I wouldnt have to pay anthoer licence fee!
