JuliaSim Webinar from Julia Computing: JuliaSim is a next-generation cloud-based simulation platform from Julia Computing. It combines the latest techniques in scientific machine learning (SciML) with equation-based digital twin modeling and simulation. JuliaSim’s modern machine learning-based techniques accelerate simulation by up to 500x, changing the paradigm of what is possible with computational design. Join us for this introduction to JuliaSim, hosted by Dr. Chris Rackauckas, Director of Modeling & Simulation at Julia Computing. Chris will share insights into the power behind the product and how it is currently being used to make buildings more energy-efficient, improve semiconductor design, and help design new and long-lasting batteries. The Webinar takes place on Tuesday July 19 from 11 am to 12 noon Eastern (US). Registration is free. Click here to register.

About Julia Computing and Julia

Julia Computing's mission is to develop products that bring Julia's superpowers to its customers. Julia Computing's flagship product is JuliaHub, a secure, software-as-a-service platform for developing Julia programs, deploying them, and scaling to thousands of nodes. It provides the power of a supercomputer at the fingertips of every data scientist and engineer. In addition to data science workflows, JuliaHub also provides access to cutting-edge products such as Pumas for pharmaceutical modeling and simulation, JuliaSim for multi-physics modeling and simulation, and Cedar for electronic circuit simulation, combining traditional simulation with modern SciML approaches.

Julia is the fastest high performance open source computing language for data, analytics, algorithmic trading, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other scientific and numeric computing applications. Julia solves the two language problem by combining the ease of use of Python and R with the speed of C++. Julia provides parallel computing capabilities out of the box and unlimited scalability with minimal effort. Julia has been downloaded by users at more than 10,000 companies and is used at more than 1,500 universities. Julia co-creators are the winners of the 2019 James H. Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software and the 2019 Sidney Fernbach Award. Julia has run at petascale on 650,000 cores with 1.3 million threads to analyze over 56 terabytes of data using Cori, one of the ten largest and most powerful supercomputers in the world.
