Alphacet introduces new Matlab/Octave interface

Peter Sibirzeff, chief executive officer, Alphacet: "With the new Octave interface, users can seamlessly upload existing proprietary MATLAB and Octave models to one centralized platform that provides greater flexibility, collaboration and control over strategy development, testing and deployment."

Alphacet Inc., a developer of software solutions for quantitative analysts, portfolio managers and traders, has announced that it has released a new Octave interface, which enables users to import proprietary MATLAB and open-source Octave code directly into the Alphacet Discovery program library.

With the new Octave interface, quants can increase the power of their existing MATLAB and Octave strategies by importing them into Alphacet Discovery, where they can rapidly save and modify their code with any of Discovery's 550 standard quantitative functions, routines and machine learning algorithms.

"The field of quantitative analysis is at a critical juncture where it must begin melding its current empirical workflow with a more streamlined and scalable development process that can react to today's volatile markets on an enterprise level," said Peter Sibirzeff, chief executive officer of Alphacet. "With the new Octave interface, users can seamlessly upload existing proprietary MATLAB and Octave models to one centralized platform that provides greater flexibility, collaboration and control over strategy development, testing and deployment."
