Julia for HEP Mini-workshop

Europe/Zurich
Benjamin Krikler (University of Bristol (GB)), Eduardo Rodrigues (University of Liverpool (GB)), Philippe Gras (Université Paris-Saclay (FR))
Description

The PyHEP WG is launching a study of the potential Julia usage for HEP.

During this mini-workshop we will share the information which has already been collected, discuss the matters for which we need to share opinions, identify the questions that will require some work to be answered.

The workshop will focus on discussions and possibly practical work. The goal is the preparation of a report on the potential of Julia for HEP and recommendations on its usage.

The topics to be addressed are listed here.

Because of the nature of the workshop, the agenda of the day will involve depending on the interests of the participants and the ideas that come out during the event and its preparation.

Some resource on Julia that can be consulted before the workshop
