Hello all,
we’re currently writing a manuscript on our experience improving a cellular automaton model for fire propagation that will include also a section on the benefits of porting from Python (the language the original prototype was written in) to Julia. Does anybody know if there are recent review papers on the adoption rate of Julia in HPC and/or scientific computing over the years that we could cite/reference in our bibliography?
Adoption rate is hard to quantify, if you want more general overview of Julia in HPC there’s Bridging HPC Communities through the Julia Programming Language.
For scientific computing in general you could look at the RSE International Survey 2022 and notice that Julia adoption increased ~80% since the 2018 survey (but do note that the sample is somewhat small). This survey also has a DOI, in case you need that for a citation.
(but do note that there is very little variance by country)
Offtopic - in the past I ran NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator and the evac simulator as a demo on HPC clusters. I guess your work is similar?
