Generalizing Abstrac...
Introduction: generic algorithms with AbstractArrays Somewhat unusually, this blog post is future-looking: it mostly focuses on things that don’t yet exist. Its purpose is to lay out the background for community discussion about possible changes to the core API for AbstractArrays, and serves as background reading and reference material for a more focused “julep” (a […]
Technical preview: N...
After 2 years of slow but steady development, we would like to announce the first preview release of native GPU programming capabilities for Julia. You can now write your CUDA kernels in Julia, albeit with some restrictions, making it possible to use Julia’s high-level language features to write high-performance GPU code. The programming support we’re […]
Covariance As Signed...
A colleague at work pointed me to a stats.stackexchange answer with an intuitive explanation of covariance: For each pair of points, draw the rectangle with these points at opposite corners. Treat the rectangle’s area as signed, with the same sign as the slope of the line between the two points. If you add up all […]
