>> cpu_timing ( 1000 ) CPU_TIMING: MATLAB has a built in command called CPUTIME, which measures the CPU time elapsed so far. The difference of two readings measures the work done lately. TASK #1: Multiply two random dense matices of order N using MATLAB's A*B operation. MegaFLOPs = 1000 Elapsed CPU time = 0.790000 Rate = 1265.822785 TASK #2: Multiply two random dense matices of order N using explicit loops. MegaFLOPs = 1000 Elapsed CPU time = 242.650000 Rate = 4.121162 >>
