The Julia programming language is being used in government R&D to power compute-intensive applications such as advanced machine learning models, and data-intensive analyses. Julia’s high-performance capabilities, native parallelism, and GPU support allow agencies like NASA, US Air Force, ARPA-E and DARPA to gain critical insight in government-funded R&D, accelerate mission-critical tasks and enable real-time decision-making.
Proven Excellence in Government Programs
Julia offers government agencies an open-source alternative to dramatically increase performance and reduce the costs of maintaining high-performance computing (HPC) applications. What sets Julia apart from other programming languages is its rich ecosystem, high performance, advanced data analysis capabilities, and ease of use.
WHY JULIAHUB?
Boost HPC Performance and Reduce Application Costs
Advanced Parallelism
Built-in support for parallel computing allows for efficient execution of concurrent tasks, maximizing resource utilization and reducing project timelines.

Julia’s syntax is tailored for complex mathematical operations, streamlining the development process for scientific and engineering applications.
High Performance
Julia’s just-in-time (JIT) compilation system delivers lightning-fast execution, with performance gains of 100-1000x over legacy languages making it an ideal choice for HPC applications in government computing solutions.
Automatic Differentiation
Simplify the creation of algorithms and models that require gradients and derivatives, reducing coding complexity and enhancing model accuracy.
Ease of Use
Julia’s intuitive syntax is easy to learn for developers familiar with Python or MATLAB, enabling rapid skill acquisition and minimizing training time.
Native GPU Support
Harness the full potential of GPUs to accelerate computational tasks and simulations, driving innovation in data-intensive government projects.
SOLUTIONS
JuliaHub Solutions for
Secure Computing Environments
JuliaHub develops an enterprise computing platform for distributed, cost-effective, and reproducible computing hosted on commercial Amazon Web Services (AWS). For government customers who want JuliaHub’s capabilities in a secure computing environment, we have developed Juliahub AIR.
JuliaHub Air
JuliaHub Air is a version of JuliaHub that can be installed in air-gapped secure computing environments. Historically, commercial cloud computing services require extensive third-party validation, testing, and certification in order to be used by government agencies (i.e. FedRAMP, DoD ILS, etc). This process is expensive, time-consuming, and typically results in substantial delays in the deployment of new cloud applications for government users. JuliaHub Air is a self-contained Kubernetes package server that can be deployed on AWS GovCloud or on-prem HPC platforms (i.e. local GPU clusters) allowing government users to deploy Julia applications based on their specific needs and mission priorities and avoid lengthy and expensive commercial cloud computing authorization processes.
