As I'm writing this, I'm running Julia on a pretty new 90 node cluster. I don't know if that counts as medium size cluster, but recently it was reported on the mailing list that Julia was running on
http://www.top500.org/system/178451 which I think counts as a supercomputer. 2015-04-28 19:58 GMT-04:00 Lyndon White <[email protected]>: > Hi, > > I have a big numerical problem that julia is nice for. > But I really want to farm it out over a few hundren cores. > > I know my local research supercomputing provider (iVec since I am in > Western Australia), > prefers it if you are running programs in C or Fortran. > > But I know they have run things in Python and Matlab. > I know they losely appreciate the trade off between development time and > CPU time. > But I think there main hesitation is the knowledge that the CPU cycles > python wastes could be going to another project, > and that other project could be curing cancer etc. > > Julia on the other hand is comparable to C or Fortran, so that objection > is out. > It is on the other hand imature and not exactly well known. > (I would not be surpised if i was the only user in my universivy. > > It would help any argument I might have, > or explination I need to render if I could say: They are using it on the > super-computers in X. > > Have you, or do you know of anyone who used it on supercomputers / > medium-large clusters? > > Did it go well? > What are the pitfalls >
