CAAPS Connect
Ziel von CAAPS Connect ist es, das Fachwissen im CAAPS zu einem bestimmten Thema niedrigschwellig zusammenzuführen und gemeinsame Projekte zu initiieren. Aus dem Format, das bisher in vier Konstellationen zu den Themen "Biomedical Fracture", "GenAI in AAPS", "Math meets Mechanics" und "Julia for Scientific Computing and Data Science" stattgefunden hat, sind bereits nachhaltige Kollaborationen hervorgegangen. Neue CAAPS Connects werden nach Bedarf kurzfristig über die Geschäftsführung koordiniert.
CAAPS Connect: Julia for Scientific Computing and Data Science
The Julia programming language represents a modern approach to scientific computing and data science, combining a user-friendly, expressive syntax similar to Python with the high computational performance found in C/C++ and Fortran. This dual advantage makes Julia a compelling choice for a wide range of computational tasks, from quickly prototyping innovative ideas to running complex, large-scale production workloads on diverse hardware platforms.
Our event seeks to connect users and developers at the University of Augsburg, whether they are new to using Julia for scientific research or already have some experience. We aim to identify shared challenges that could benefit from joint efforts and to explore potential future Julia-focused collaborations. The event will include a series of Julia presentations to inspire dialogue, including a brief introduction to performance optimiziation, alongside an open-topic birds-of-a-feather session for informal discussions.
