Julia Workshop - HPC.NRW

An online Julia workshop for the HPC.NRW Kompetenznetwerk which takes place in March 2021 (1st - 4th).

In case of questions, feel free to contact me.

Preparing for the workshop

Software and workshop materials

What you need (in short):

Julia 1.5
Jupyter + IJulia.jl
The workshop materials, i.e. this GitHub repository

How to get everything

The workshop uses the latest Julia version 1.5. Go to julialang.org and install the appropriate binaries for your operating system.

Apart from Julia itself, you will need a Jupyter notebook installation and a bunch of Julia packages (dependencies). The simplest way to install everything is to use the WorkshopWizard. Just follow the usage instructions. Alternatively, you can use the following terminal commands (you need to have git and julia available):

git clone https://github.com/crstnbr/JuliaNRW21
cd JuliaNRW21
julia install.jl

If you are facing any issues you can check out this troubleshooting section. Otherwise I will try to help you get ready for the workshop on Monday!

Note: I might still change some of the workshop materials before Monday. To be on the safe side, make sure you update your local instance of the repository on Monday. (You can always delete your local copy and redownload/git pull.)

Julia syntax

To get the most out of the workshop, make yourself familiar with the basic Julia syntax (variables, loops, functions, etc.) in case you haven't used Julia before. Skimming through the Manual section of the Julia documentaion is certainly a good idea. Alternatively, you can check out this and this jupyter notebook (german video versions here and here). There is also a longer english video introduction available.
