For the fifth year in a row (see e.g. here or here or here) I’m pleased to annouce that there will be another opportunity to learn more about using Julia for high-performance computing this fall!
In collaboration with the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS), I’ll be offering another iteration of the “Julia for High-Performance Computing” course, which will take place on-site at HLRS in Stuttgart, Germany from September 29 - October 2, 2026.
Synopsis:
This 4-day course introduces the Julia programming language as a modern approach to high-performance numerical computing. Starting from the foundations and characteristic language features (e.g. multiple dispatch, type inference) the course will discuss and demonstrate how Julia manages to deliver high performance while also being high-level and dynamic. It will teach participants the necessary language concepts to achieve high performance in Julia and avoid common pitfalls. The course will cover serial and parallel computing (multithreading, distributed computing, MPI) and will provide insights into how to readily offload computations to NVIDIA GPUs.
Hands-on sessions on each day will allow the participants to interactively explore the language and immediately test and apply the discussed concepts.
This course is particularly suitable for students and researchers who are interested in numerical computing and want to learn how to write high-performance code using the Julia programming language.

Feedback from Previous Courses:
“I believe my opinion holds significant value, as I have attended most of the HLRS courses […]. With all due respect to the other trainers, Carsten was the best so far. The Julia workshop was, in my view, also the best one so far.”
“Carsten’s enthusiasm and patience were fantastic - this was the best course I have ever been on!”
