...Recently, the Julia language has become an attractive alternative because it provides the remarkable performance of a low-level language without sacrificing the readability and ease of use of high-level languages. However, Julia still lacks the depth and scale of the R package environment. This package, RCall.jl, facilitates communication between these two languages and allows the user to call R packages from within Julia, providing the best of both worlds. Additionally, this is a pure Julia package so it is portable and easy to use.

...These macros can be used to replace the Task switching functions produce and consume which were deprecated in Julia v0.6. Channels are the preferred way for inter-task communication in Julia v0.6+, but their performance is subpar for iterator applications.

ParallelStencil empowers domain scientists to write architecture-agnostic high-level code for parallel high-performance stencil computations on GPUs and CPUs. Performance similar to CUDA C / HIP can be achieved, which is typically a large improvement over the performance reached when using only CUDA.jl or AMDGPU.jl GPU Array programming. For example, a 2-D shallow ice solver presented at JuliaCon 2020 [1] achieved a nearly 20 times better performance than a corresponding GPU Array...

...The syntax should look familiar if you know MPI already, but some arguments may not be needed (e.g. the type or the number of elements of arrays, which are inferred automatically), others may be placed slightly differently, and others may be optional keyword arguments (e.g. for the index of the root process, or the source and destination of point-to-point communication functions).

...ImplicitGlobalGrid relies on the Julia MPI wrapper (MPI.jl) to perform halo updates close to hardware limit and leverages CUDA-aware or ROCm-aware MPI for GPU-applications. The communication can straightforwardly be hidden behind computation [1, 3] (how this can be done automatically when using ParallelStencil.jl is shown in; a general approach particularly suited for CUDA C applications is explained in.

...For lossless storage of arbitrary Julia objects, the only other complete solution appears to be Julia's serializer, which can be accessed via the serialize and deserialize commands. However, because the serializer is also used for inter-process communication, long-term backward compatibility is currently uncertain. (The JLDArchives repository exists to test the compatibility of older JLD file formats.) If you choose to save data using the serializer, please use the file extension .jls to distinguish the files from .jld files.
