Dido with the timing of the tribute to Shalmaneser and the year when construction of the First Temple began provide evidence for the essential historicity of at least the existence of Pygmalion and Dido as well as their rift in 825 BC that eventually led to the founding of Carthage. According to J. M. Peñuela, the difference in the two dates for the foundation of Carthage has an explanation if we understand that Dido fled Tyre in 825 BC, but eleven years elapsed before she was given permission by the original inhabitants to build a city on the mainland, years marked
DIDO (software) to maneuver the International Space Station to perform the zero-propellant maneuver. Since this flight demonstration, DIDO was used for the International Space Station and other NASA spacecraft. It is also used in other industries. DIDO is also available as a MATLAB "toolbox" product. It does not require the MATLAB Optimization Toolbox or any other third-party software like SNOPT or IPOPT or other nonlinear programming solvers. The MATLAB/DIDO toolbox does not require a "guess" to run the algorithm. This and other distinguishing features have made DIDO a popular tool to solve optimal control problems. The MATLAB optimal control toolbox has been
