A four-day hands-on workshop on the programming language Julia will be organized by the EuroCC National Competence Center Sweden (ENCCS) from 26 to 29 May 2026.
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.
The hands-on workshop, is aimed at students, researchers, and developers. It is designed to equip participants with practical skills for working with large datasets, optimizing code, and leveraging Julia's rich ecosystem of libraries. They will explore real-world applications in data analysis, numerical computation, and machine learning, all while discovering how Julia can streamline your workflow and elevate your performance without sacrificing code readability.
