Julia & JuliaHub: Advancing Innovation and Growth

Julia and JuliaHub: Advancing Innovation and Growth

JuliaHub and the Julia community have grown at a tremendous pace in recent years, and we want to take this opportunity to celebrate some of these successes.

Julia Growth By the Numbers

Julia use and development continue to grow rapidly. In the past 5 years, the number of Julia Discourse views has grown +494% to more than 136 million, the number of cumulative GitHub stars for Julia and registered Julia packages has grown +412% to more than 511 thousand, the number of published citations of three core Julia papers has grown +391% to more than 8 thousand and the number of registered Julia packages has grown +322% to more than 11 thousand.

In January 2020, Julia v1.4 was released. Today, the latest release is Julia v1.11, with many new features and capabilities. A summary of the advanced features and capabilities from the last 5 years is available here:

• Julia 1.5 Highlights
• Julia 1.6 Highlights
• Julia 1.7 Highlights
• Julia 1.8 Highlights
• Julia 1.9 Highlights
• Julia 1.10 Highlights
• Julia 1.11 Highlights

JuliaCon: Since January 2020, there have been 5 JuliaCons, including 3 virtual JuliaCons. The first virtual JuliaCon had nearly 30,000 participants. In-person attendance has more than doubled since the pre-pandemic conferences to over 600 participants last year. The number and quality of presentations has also increased, as has the number of online views. Click here to watch last year’s presentations.

JuliaHub: JuliaHub has grown to more than 100 employees in more than 20 countries on six continents. JuliaHub has conducted and published 85 free Webinars and contributed hundreds of thousands of hours and millions of lines of code to the Julia language and open source Julia packages.

JuliaHub Products: Over the last five years, JuliaHub has created new products that help users get the most out of Julia.

• JuliaHub: JuliaHub is a platform that empowers scientists, engineers, software developers, and innovators with all the high performance computing power and application development tools they need to realize path breaking ideas at enterprise scale.
• JuliaSim: JuliaSim is the next-generation cloud-based platform for model-based design. JuliaSim uses modern scientific machine learning (SciML) techniques and equation-based digital twin modeling and simulation to accelerates simulation times, significantly reducing workflow runtime from months to hours. JuliaSim encompasses block diagrams, acausal modeling, state transition diagram and a differentiable programming language all within a single environment.
• JuliaSim Batteries: JuliaSimBatteries is an advanced lithium-ion battery simulation tool integrating sophisticated electrochemical, thermal, and degradation physics. Utilizing the Doyle Fuller Newman (DFN) model, it can predict a battery's entire lifetime with fast charging 150,000 times faster than real time. The number of connected batteries is scalable from one cell to packs of thousands using electrochemical models. Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) enables the discovery of hidden governing laws from data, such as degradation and low-temperature behavior.
• JuliaSim HVAC: JuliaSim HVAC takes a fresh approach to tackle the complexities of HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system modeling and simulation. It offers a comprehensive suite of tools to model and simulate complex thermofluid systems. The JuliaSim HVAC library of pre-built components and refrigerant models connects to advanced solvers that are customized to system behavior and are composable with the JuliaSim Scientific Machine Learning (SciML) ecosystem.
• JuliaSim Control: JuliaSim Control is a comprehensive toolkit for the design, simulation, analysis, and optimization of control systems. Built with the Julia programming language and integrated with ModelingToolkit.jl and the JuliaControl ecosystem, it offers a unified platform for the analysis, design and optimization of linear and nonlinear control systems.
• Pumas: Pumas is a comprehensive platform for pharmaceutical modeling and simulation, providing a single tool for the entire drug development pipeline. It is used for simulation and estimation of quantitative pre-clinical and clinical pharmacological models.

The Best Is Still to Come: JuliaHub and the Julia community are currently working on a number of innovations that will continue to fuel our growth and development for years to come. Stay tuned!
