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.

Save and Load Workspace Variables
Save some or all variables in the current workspace and reload the variables later during the current MATLAB session, or during another session.
Save and Load Parts of Variables in MAT-Files
Save and load parts of variables directly in MAT-files
without loading them into memory using the matfile function.
There are several versions of MAT-files that each support an increasing set of features, starting with MAT-file Version 4.
Growing Arrays Using matfile Function
When writing a large number of large values to a MAT-file, the size of the file increases in a nonincremental way, which is expected.
