  • Best free/open source CAS ?

    Another I've been working on learning is Julia, which aims to use a syntax very similar to how you'd write it mathematically, and I like being able to include units in calculations using the unitful.jl package, and there are FEM packages available like Gridap.
  • [Research] Input Arbitrary PDE -> Output Approximate Solution
    4 projects | /r/MachineLearning | 10 Jul 2021
    PINN methods are absurdly slow (DeepXDE is about 10,000x slower than an ODE solver for example, while using implicit parallelism vs serial ODE solver) but they are flexible. So ModelingToolkit.jl has alternative options, like DiffEqOperators.jl takes the same specification and generates ODESystem and NonlinearSystem problems via finite difference discretizations (known as "method of lines"). There's a (pseudo-)spectral part of the interface coming relatively soon as well, with GridAP.jl integration for FEM coming soon. So this is made to be a universal arbitrary PDE -> approximate solution interface which is generic to the method and solving process.

    This lists some of its unique abilities:

    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.
