Description

Julia is a high-level, high-performance, dynamic programming language. While it is a general-purpose language and can be used to write any application, many of its features are well suited for numerical analysis and computational science. (Wikipedia)

Running Julia

… on login nodes

This is possible, but resources (CPU, memory, runtime) are limited. Be friendly to other users, login nodes are shared resources.

… on compute nodes

Use the batch system to allocate a compute node, log in to that node using X11 forwarding, load a modulefile for Julia, and work interactively as usual:

$ salloc -N 1 -p cpu-genoa
$ ssh -X $SLURM_NODELIST
$ module load julia/1.10.9
$ julia
…
julia>

When done, leave the compute node (exit) and free the allocation (exit).

You may also use srun to allocate resources:

$ srun -N 1 -p cpu-genoa --x11 --pty --interactive bash

Julia packages

Packages can be installed via Julia's package manager in your local depot.
