Krzysztof Miernik
I'm a professor at the University of Warsaw, Poland, working in the field of
experimental nuclear physics. Since 2020 Julia has been my main programming
tool, I use it for all kinds of work, from simple calculations, through the
preparation of figures, communication with laboratory equipment and detectors,
to analysis of relatively large datasets.
Session
A study of a case of Julia's use for data analysis in the nuclear physics field
will be presented. Binary data, coming from a nuclear fusion-fission reaction
study, including signals from about 200 detectors, amounted to 20-30
TB. Julia's capability of seamless calling C-libraries, multi-processing
schemes and efficient data processing allowed us to analyze this dataset with an
ordinary off-the-shelf computer in a reasonable time, without the need to employ
HPC.
