Well, we're building - they're paying :). I tweeted some photos here for people who want to see our initial testbed (yes, this is completely off the shelf hardware - part of the point of the project is to see how far we can take t

It's probably not obvious to people outside the community, but the amount of effort that's currently going into MTK and the larger SciML stack is absolutely enormous. Depending on how you count, maybe an order of magnitude more th

This project is just starting, so I have hardware sitting on my desk and have used it a bit, but other than that not much.

Finance was a focus area early on and we have a fair number of consulting clients there and JuliaHub is available of course, but we were never able to figure out a dedicated domain-specific, non-niche product to sell into the space. Maybe i

Sure, but there's two separate concerns here. One is that money will turn us evil and we'll exercise undue influence. My counterpoint was that JC has been around for six years now and in that time we've actually strengthened

These kind of concerns are not unreasonable in general of course, but in this case let me point out that Julia Computing has been a commercial enterprise for more than six years. Also, our commerical product is deliberately not Julia, but r

Nothing complicated. Stream 1: Build amazing products for particular domains, charge license fees Stream 2: Build a great SaaS platform for running Julia, charge for compute Since all of our domain products are built in Julia and often invo

Yes, software-defined radio, we have a very broad set of interests, and that happens to be one of the open jobs :).

Oh, I suppose I should add if you're looking to use something like this in a commercial setting, please feel free to reach out. Either directly to me, or just email info@ and you'll get routed to the right place.

There's not really much public about it yet. There'll be a technical talk about it at JuliaCon and we're talking to initial potential customers about it, but it's not quite ready for the wider community yet. If you want

I guess this would be a good place to mention that we're hiring for lots of positions, so if you would like to help build JuliaHub, or work on compilers, or come play with SDRs, please take a look at our job openings :) : https:/

Those efforts are quite different, focusing primarily on the design side with a focus on digital, while our effort is on ML-accelerated simulation of continuous time analog domain problems. I've met Chris Latter many times, and I'

The funding is particularly for AI exploration, but we are building out a strong foundation of modern analog design tooling in julia as well. If the AI works like we hope, it'll be a nice bonus for situations where it is applicable, bu

We are building something along these lines that the DARPA work sits on top of, so if you have a current need, do feel free to reach out (email is in profile).

The underlying representation of the simulator we have is symbolic, so you can have it spit out a https://github.com/JuliaSymbolics/Symbolics.jl representation of the equations that make up the circuit and feed it into

Depends on the time scales of the circuits (as long as your baseline simulator isn't dumb) ;). For example, consider LRC circuits that have an analytic solution - you can basically simulate them instantly. The primary goal here is to b

Yes, we're looking at it. One of our benchmark cases for this work, will likely be a post-extraction structure from one of the Sky130 chips (not that it wouldn't work in a more moderns process, but the NDA issues become complicate

We're not. I do think Rust is a good language though and you may take my word that I have very strong opinions on language design :).

We're not doing design in Julia at the moment, just simulation of existing domains, so we're just reading in netlists from other tools. Eventually I do think Julia would be good at HDL, and I too have an abandoned HDL DSL (that I

We have a fairly academic background, so we know how to write these grant proposals and have been doing it for a while. It's definitely a specialized skill, but there's no magic to it. You have to know how to do the paperwork and
