Large MAT-Files

Access and change variables without loading into memory

Use the matfile function to access MATLAB® variables directly from MAT-files on disk, without loading the full variables into memory. When you create a new file using matfile, the function creates a Version 7.3 MAT-file that also lets you save variables larger than 2 GB.
