The winners received cash prizes plus free compute hours on JuliaHub.com. The notebooks were judged based on the following 3 criteria:

  • Does it solve an interesting problem?
  • How interactive is it and what kind of output visualization does it include?
  • How well does it use Julia package(s) / JuliaHub?

Free Webinars from JuliaHub: JuliaHub provides free Webinars covering a range of Julia topics. The Webinars are free but advance registration is required and space is limited. Please click the links below to register.

JuliaSim Now Runs Locally or Via Browser: JuliaSim provides best-in-class modeling and simulation tools. Now you can choose whether to install JuliaSim on your personal computer or access JuliaSim via your browser using JuliaHub. Instructions for local installation are available here. JuliaSim modules available through the local registry include:

  • JuliaSimCompiler: A new compiler backend which accelerates the generated code of ModelingToolkit models and improves scaling.
  • JuliaSimModelOptimizer: A toolbox for calibration of ODEs and DAEs with high-performance multiple shooting, collocation, prediction-error method, and other noise-robust approaches. This toolbox is centered around making it easy to perform calibration and design optimization on ModelingToolkit models.
  • JuliaSimControl: A control suite for ModelingToolkit models, allowing for model-predictive control, robust controls, and more in a simple and easy to use interface.

These tools are free for academic and non-commercial usage. Commercial users can make use of JuliaHub’s standard tier to explore these tools and the growing JuliaSim ecosystem. Stay tuned for coming webinars and tutorials which will share all of the ways industrial engineers are making use of these tools and more. Click here for documentation.

JuliaHub Release Notes: JuliaHub v6.3.0 release notes are available here. New features include:

  • v6.3.0 adds the capability to build a sysimage to go along with your job run. The sysimage is built before the job starts. After the sysimage build completes, the sysimage is mounted to every Julia process the job uses (main and workers). JuliaHub users can choose to create a SYSIMG by checking the "Build SYSIMG" checkbox during job submission. More information on "What a SYSIMG is?" can be found here.
  • Simple caching based on the pre-built SYSIMGs, this feature ensures that additional runs of a job with the same manifest will reuse the already built sysimage.
  • A fresh and modern user interface for JuliaHub. This update brings a host of usability improvements and a cleaner design, making user interactions smoother and ensures faster loading. UI improvements include a major overhaul to Notifications, Registrator and Projects features.
  • A new grouping for shared datasets for easy distinction, using these groupings; end-users can easily distinguish between shared datasets based on who shared them; without going into details.
  • Users can now create folders or directories in File explorer UI, this will help users to organize their files in an efficient way.
  • New search filter for dependencies & dependents in the packages UI. Using this feature, end-users can now search for direct and indirect dependencies & dependents for a particular package.
  • You can now remove a project viewer's access by setting the resource's general access level to "No Access"
  • Enterprise: Job time limits can now be made optional by an admin on enterprise installs. If this option is enabled, end-users on the JuliaHub instance can start jobs with no time limits.

Recent JuliaHub Webinars Available Free Online: More than 65 free Webinars from JuliaHub are available for free online, including the most recent, Genomic Data Analytics with JuliaHub Using SingleCellProjections and GLMakie. Click here to access all past JuliaHub Webinars.

Williams Racing Unlocks SciML Using JuliaSim: Williams Racing is a Formula 1 race team. They use JuliaSim to:

  • Model aerodynamics 169x faster and 7% more accurately than MATLAB
  • Model tire deformation using a quasi-static partial differential equation 1,000x faster than MATLAB and a dynamic differential equation 8x faster using a geometry that is 2.3x higher fidelity
  • Create a digital twin for a physical sensor in order to model in-lap conditions without the extra weight and aerodynamic cost of a physical sensor
