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
12.95 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.
