You seem to be confusing problem formulation with the problem solution. It is true there is a standard way to exchange the problem formulation through something like MPS (though it seems AML's like AMPL etc. have taken over). All this

Looks like the C version is probably more than twice as fast compared to the .NET and JDK versions (which are now close)[1]. Someone needs to do the full modern hardware treatment (for ex. SIMD) to the C version (perhaps even adding some AS

The real solution to fast compilation is to have modules. These kind of one-off hacks are interesting but will not scale.

The date of this discussion (July/2020) really caught my eye. Fortran is actually making quite a comeback (to the extent an ancient scientific language can :-). I casually looked at the TIOBE index[1], flawed as it may be, it gives you

Yes, definitely very impressive results. Especially considering how much of an improvement over the Python/Numpy code they could achieve. If you are writing something from scratch, very good reason to work in Julia.

The authors seem to using the MPI package from Julia [1] so not something they did on their own. I didn't see any discussion on why MPI.jl is scales differently than Fortran-MPI. Something for the MPI.jl developers to investigate. [1]

Ok, so a not very representative tl;dr was provided so adding mine here. 1. Serial CPU performance of Julia-unoptimized was around 12 times that of Python/Numpy. 2. Serial CPU performance of Julia optimized gave another 10-12x improvem

Good historical perspective thanks for it. Your comments on scientific computing/HPC are interesting. Golang could indeed have solved the two-language problem and taken off like a rocket in comparison to where it is (hovering in the to

For someone who might not be familiar, JuMP is not a solver. It is a algebraic modeling language in the same vein as AMPL or Pyomo. You will still need a solver (and JuMP provides a lot of out of the box connections) like Gurobi, CPLEX or o

Sadly though, the Open source solvers seem to perform pretty badly compared to commercial solvers. https://plato.asu.edu/bench.html

Seems like the benchmarking code is a small script and what you are suggesting might be a few lines of code. Might be worthwhile to take a stab and see if there is a difference.

Congrats Lee. I saw it in my local library as well and was pleasantly surprised. Wanted to check it out and realized I had my copy from Nostarch directly as I had pre-ordered several months back :-). Someone else can now enjoy learning Juli

Jax is great, however you are still in the python ecosystem right? So, as you requirements grow, inevitably you will be at a point where 10% of your app goes through 'regular' python and if you don't "drop to C" - m
