EuroCC's national competence center in Sweden is organizing a 4-day online workshop on Julia for high-performance data analysis from 2-5 October 2023. You can find the tentative agenda and registration form on the event webpage.
Julia is a modern high-level programming language that is fast (on par with traditional HPC languages like Fortran and C) and relatively easy to write, like Python or Matlab. It thus solves the two-language problem, i.e., when prototype code in a high-level language needs to be combined with or rewritten in a lower-level language to improve performance. Although Julia is a general-purpose language, many of its features are particularly useful for numerical scientific computation, and a wide range of both domain-specific and general libraries are available for statistics, machine learning, and numerical modeling.
This online workshop will start by briefly covering the basics of Julia’s syntax and features, and then introduce methods and libraries which are useful for writing high-performance code for modern HPC systems.
