Sessions
We present our research efforts in creating a performance portable programming model, JACC, in Julia targeting heterogeneous hardware on the US Department of Energy Leadership Computational Facilities. JACC leverages the high-productivity aspect of Julia and the CUDA.jl and AMDGPU.jl vendor specific GPU implementations and expands to many core CPUs (Arm, x86) and automatic memory management. The goal is to allow Julia applications to write performant code once leveraging existing infrastructure.
The Julia HPC community has been growing over the last years with monthly meetings to coordinate development and to solve problems arising in the use of Julia for high-performance computing.
The Julia in HPC Birds of a Feather is an ideal opportunity to join the community and to discuss your experiences with using Julia in an HPC context.
