Jacket is a nice addition to Matlab, which like any interpreted language is inherently slow. I've seen a 40x slow down for the same application versus a Fortran implementation.

In my view Matlab is great for testing your ideas, but for an industrial application you will translate your code to C/C++ or Fortran.

I'm curious to check how much speed you can achieve using Jacket versus a native C+CUDA code. I doubt Matlab+Jacket can run at the same speed as C+CUDA, but I will give it a try.

You can use libjacket to get c/c++ access to a lot of what's in Matlab jacket. It's still incubating but has enough to pull pieces for apps: http://wiki.accelereyes.com/wiki/index.php/LIBJACKET
