Clang.jl VS DifferentialEquations.jl

Compare Clang.jl vs DifferentialEquations.jl and see what are their differences.

Clang.jl

C binding generator and Julia interface to libclang (by JuliaInterop)

DifferentialEquations.jl

Multi-language suite for high-performance solvers of differential equations and scientific machine learning (SciML) components. Ordinary differential equations (ODEs), stochastic differential equations (SDEs), delay differential equations (DDEs), differential-algebraic equations (DAEs), and more in Julia. (by SciML)

    Are there solid C interfaces that can be used?

    A large part of why I started using Julia is because calling into other languages through the C FFI is pretty easy and efficient. Most of the wrappers are a single line. If there is not existing driver support, I would pass the C headers through Clang.jl, which automatically wraps the C API in a C header.

    I most recently did this with libtiff. Here is the Clang.jl code to generate the bindings. It's less than 30 lines of sterotypical code.

    The generated bindings with a few tweaks is here:

    If you are interested in C++ interop you can also have a look at Clang.jl and CxxWrap.jl (the usual Julia package chaos applies, where the package mentioned in old talks and docs that you find on google is superseded by some others...)

    This lists some of its unique abilities:

    https://docs.sciml.ai/DiffEqDocs/stable/

    The routines are sufficiently generic, with regard to Julia’s type system, to allow the solvers to automatically compose with other packages and to seamlessly use types other than Numbers. For example, instead of handling just functions Number→Number, you can define your ODE in terms of quantities with physical dimensions, uncertainties, quaternions, etc., and it will just work (for example, propagating uncertainties correctly to the solution¹). Recent developments involve research into the automated selection of solution routines based on the properties of the ODE, something that seems really next-level to me.

  • When is julia getting proper precompilation?
    3 projects | /r/Julia | 10 Dec 2021
    It's not faith, and it's not all from Julia itself. https://github.com/SciML/DifferentialEquations.jl/issues/785 should reduce compile times of what OP mentioned for example.
  • Julia 1.7 has been released

    Let's even put raw numbers to it. DifferentialEquations.jl usage has seen compile times drop from 22 seconds to 3 seconds over the last few months.
