JuliaTeam: JuliaTeam is an enterprise solution that makes it as easy to use and develop Julia packages inside your company as it is in the open source world. The current release of JuliaTeam integrates with your corporate authentication systems and eliminates the headaches of installing and using public Julia packages behind a corporate firewall. JuliaTeam also gives IT and management insight and control over what packages developers are using, helping ensure quality and security. Upcoming
JuliaTeam releases will include these features as well:
Read and search docs for all internal and external packages in a single place
Create and manage private package registries
Publish and test private packages as easily as public ones, making sure new versions work seamlessly with all the other versions of packages that your teams are using
Benchmark your code to make sure it runs as efficiently as possible and stays fast
Download a summary of licenses of all the software you depend on
JuliaTeam makes Julia development at your company as easy, effective and fun as open source.

Solutions Review: The Julia data ecosystem lets you load multidimensional datasets, perform aggregations, joins and preprocessing operations in parallel, and save them to a disk. Julia has foreign function interfaces for C/Fortran, C++, Python, R, and Java, and it can be embedded into other programs through an embedding API. The language works with an array of databases and integrates with the Hadoop ecosystem as well.”
Heise: “Julia 1.1 ist fertiggestellt”
Devellopez: “Le langage de programmation Julia gagne de plus en plus en popularité au sein de la communauté scientifique”
Analytics Insight: “Julia combines the functionality from different well-known languages like Python, R, Matlab, SAS and Stata with the speed of C++ and Java.”
InsideHPC: “One of my favorites is Julia language. It has a wonderful interface to GPUs via the JuliaGPU project. Unlike Python, it doesn’t have a GIL, as it is compiled and built for parallelism, nor does it have structure by indentation. It has a native GPU compiler built in to its LLVM stack, meaning that it can optimize not merely for the CPUs, but also for the GPUs. It is rapidly maturing, so there are a few rough spots, but I expect tools like this to become more standard for HPC applications.”

About Julia and Julia Computing
Julia is the fastest high performance open source computing language for data, analytics, algorithmic trading, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and other scientific and numeric computing applications. Julia solves the two language problem by combining the ease of use of Python and R with the speed of C++. Julia provides parallel computing capabilities out of the box and unlimited scalability with minimal effort. Julia has been downloaded more than 3 million times and is used at more than 1,500 universities. Julia co-creators are the winners of the 2019 James H. Wilkinson Prize for Numerical Software. Julia has run at petascale on 650,000 cores with 1.3 million threads to analyze over 56 terabytes of data using Cori, one of the ten largest and most powerful supercomputers in the world.
Julia Computing was founded in 2015 by all the creators of Julia to develop products and provide professional services to businesses and researchers using Julia.
