We hope that you and your family are staying safe during this
challenging time. Julia Computing staff are working safely from home
with our loved ones and we hope you are doing the same.
Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, Julia Computing has suspended our
participation in and the publication of in-person Julia events for the
time being. Instead, we will continue to offer and promote online
events, including online Julia Computing training courses, Webinars and
microtrainings.
Julia Researchers Create Verifiable Neural Net in Julia for COVID-19
Epidemiology Model: In January, Christopher Rackauckas et al.
published Using Differential Equations for Scientific Machine
Learning, which introduced
Universal Differential Equations (UDEs), combining the power of neural
networks in Julia with the transparency of differential equations. In a
new paper titled Quantifying the Effect of Quarantine Control in
COVID-19 Infectious Spread Using Machine
Learning,
MIT researchers Raj Dandekar and George Barbarastathis describe how they
use this method in Julia to create an epidemiology model of COVID-19
spread.
Pumas from Julia Computing for Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics:
Pumas from Julia
Computing provides end-to-end integration of machine learning and
artificial intelligence into pharmacology and pharmacometrics. For more
information, click here.
AstraZeneca Researchers Use Julia with a Bayesian Neural Network to
Predict Toxicity: A new paper titled A Bayesian Neural Network for
Toxicity
Prediction
describes how researchers from AstraZeneca and Prioris.ai use Julia and
Flux.jl to predict toxicity.
Julia for COVID-19 – MIT Open Course Registration Spikes +1,400%:
Course registration increased from 20 to
300
when Julia Computing Chief Scientist and MIT Professor Alan Edelman and
MIT Visiting Professor David Sanders included COVID-19 modeling in MIT’s
Introduction to Computational Thinking course. Course materials are
available here.
JuliaCon 2020: Due to COVID-19, JuliaCon 2020 will be held online
from July 27-31. JuliaCon ticket refund information will be available
soon. Click here for the latest updates.
New Julia Benchmarks: ParallelKmeans.jl is ‘orders of magnitude’
faster than Python’s scikit-learn, R and Clustering.jl. More information
is available
here.

From COBOL to Julia: On COBOL and Legacy Systems: COVID-19 Turmoil
Calls For
Change
explains how and why the finance industry is transitioning from COBOL to
modern languages, including Julia. As Julia Computing CEO Viral Shah
explains in the article, “The amount of data is just too [large] …
they might as well embrace the new world and the new regulations with
the new systems.”
Converting from Proprietary Software to Julia: Are you looking to
leverage Julia’s superior speed and ease of use, but limited due to
legacy software and code? Julia Computing and our partners can help
accelerate replacing your existing proprietary applications, improve
performance, reduce development time, augment or replace existing
systems and provide an extended trusted team to deliver Julia solutions.
Leverage experienced resources from Julia Computing and our partners to
get your team up and running quickly. For more information, please

JuliaBox Sunsets May 31, 2020: Julia Computing has decided to sunset
JuliaBox on May 31, 2020. If you are a JuliaBox user, you will no longer
be able to log in, and if you are a paid JuliaBox subscriber, you will
no longer be charged for JuliaBox after that date. We encourage all
JuliaBox users to download and install
JuliaPro for free
before May 31, 2020.
JuliaPro is free to
download, install and use, and is the fastest on-ramp to Julia. With
JuliaPro, you can
install and use any private or public packages, including your choice
from among more than 2,600 open source packages and more than 250
curated packages.

About Julia and Julia Computing
Julia is the fastest high performance open
source computing language for data, analytics, algorithmic trading,
machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other scientific and
numeric computing applications. Julia solves the two language problem by
combining the ease of use of Python and R with the speed of C++. Julia
provides parallel computing capabilities out of the box and unlimited
scalability with minimal effort. Julia has been downloaded more than 13
million times and is used at more than 1,500 universities. Julia
co-creators are the winners of the 2019 James H. Wilkinson Prize for
Numerical Software and the 2019 Sidney Fernbach Award. Julia has run
at petascale on
650,000 cores with 1.3 million threads to analyze over 56 terabytes of
data using Cori, one of the ten largest and most powerful supercomputers
in the world.
Julia Computing was founded in 2015
by all the creators of Julia to develop products and provide
professional services to businesses and researchers using Julia.
