Hi What is the difference between the dll generated by matlab coder and the dll generated by libraryCompiler?I am not very clear, I hope I can get a reasonable explanation，thanks!

Best Answer

The dll generated by MATLAB Coder is able to run without MATLAB Runtime, so it is deployable in such as embedded hardware which don't have much spec as PC nor servers. But MATLAB functions which can be converted to dll by MATLAB Coder are limited.
In the other hand, dll generated by libraryCompiler (a tool of MATLAB Compiler SDK) needs MATLAB Runtime (for free) in order to run. MATLAB Runtime requires the same machine specs as MATLAB, so the dll would only work on PCs and servers, not on embedded systems.
