talk aims at describing the key features of the language that make
Julia very attractive from the point of view of scientific computing. In
particular, I will describe its unique programming paradigm based on
multiple-dispatch, which arguably makes it a very natural tool for
mathematical thinking. Besides, I will explain why Julia is often
presented as a solution to the 'two-language problem' in the sense that
the programmer can obtain performance through optimization while staying
within the language itself. This is however not for free and requires
understanding a bit of what happens behind the scenes.</div><div><br></div><div>Of course, no a priori knowledge of Julia is required to follow the talk.</div></div></div></div><br>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Laura Spinolo<br></span></div><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">IMATI-CNR<br></span></div><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">via Ferrata 5, 27100 Pavia, Italy <br></span></div><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Web: <a href="http://arturo.imati.cnr.it/spinolo/" target="_blank">http://arturo.imati.cnr.it/spinolo/</a><br></span></div><span style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Email: <a href="mailto:spinolo@imati.cnr.it" target="_blank">spinolo@imati.cnr.it</a></span> <br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
