Introduction

Julia is a high-level, high-performance, dynamic programming language, being designed with scientific computing in mind. Parallel programming features, such as multi-threading are included in the core language, while there also exit packages leveraging the power of MPI and CUDA.

Interactive Example

Load Julia module and start interactive REPL session with 8 threads, using the environment in the current directory:

$ module load math/julia
$ julia -t 8 --project=.

Enter ']' to go into package manager and install package UnicodePlots.

add UnicodePlots

Leave the package manager with the backspace key.

Create an vector with 64 elements set to 0 and fill it using all threads with the corresponding tread id number.

vec = zeros(64)
Threads.@threads for i in eachindex(vec)
    vec[i]= Threads.threadid()
end

Load the UnicodePlots package and draw a scatter plot of the contents of vec

using UnicodePlots
scatterplot(vec)
