Julia: Parallel computing revisited

This is the fourth talk in the series introducing the high level, high performance language Julia. In this seminar we will revisit the features and updates for parallel computing that make parallel programming simple for scientists and engineers on shared and distributed memory systems. People can focus on the math problems to solve rather than programming techniques that one would have to otherwise care about such as communications between processes via message passing interface (MPI). We will present the ideas through simple examples of broad interest.
