Research in high energy physics (HEP) requires huge amounts of computing and storage, putting strong constraints on the code speed and resource usage. To meet these requirements, a compiled high-performance language is typically used; while for physicists... (more…)

Nearly 300 students join an open course that applies data science, artificial intelligence, and mathematical modeling using the Julia language to study Covid-19. (more…)

In my previous blog post, I discussed how to use Cython to get a more than hundredfold speed improvement on training an adaptive equaliser for optical communications experiments and simulations. The downside to that gain was that the optimised Cython-code... (more…)

AlphaVantage is a market data provider that is nice enough to provide free access to a wide variety of data. It is my goto financial data provider ( used here ) , because a) it’s free and b) there is an R package that accesses the API easily. However, the... (more…)

Recently, the place of the main programming language for scientific and engineering computations has been little by little taken by Julia. Some users want to work completely within the Julia framework as they work within the Python framework. There are li... (more…)
