[CSC 330] Julia

[Andrew J. Pounds]

I know some of you are eager to get started using Julia for your 
project.  The version of julia in the system libraries on cobra is old 
(I think it is was released last December -- and that is old in the 
Julia release cycle ).  Julia is being actively maintained and updated 
and the developers encourage users to use the most recent version 
because it is the most stable (and presumably fastest).   I wanted to 
make sure I got the newest (and presumably fastest) version running for 
you on cobra before you started using it.   I was able to get that done 
on Saturday.

If you set things up properly, you will find Julia to also be fast and 
easy for array work.  The developers hope it replaces Fortran as the 
de-factor number crunching language.

Anyway, the assignment for tomorrow will open a day early so you can go 
ahead and get started.  It will show you how to use the newest julia 
release (1.8.2),  give you an example of how to code the 
multidimensional arrays in julia, and ask you some critical questions 
you need to think about before you implement julia in your project.
