New framework expands access to advanced computing by reducing software barriers June 23, 2026 — Researchers from the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have developed a new open-source software framework that significantly advances performance portability for the Julia programming language across heterogeneous high-performance computing (HPC) architectures. The framework, known as Julia for […] The post ORNL Debuts JACC for Performance-Portable Julia for HPC Systems appeared first on HPCwire .
The increasing complexity and heterogeneity of HPC systems necessitate new tools to maximize performance while maintaining code portability, which Julia is well-suited for due to its design.
This development makes high-performance computing more accessible and efficient for a broader range of researchers and applications, potentially accelerating scientific discovery and technological innovation.
Julia, a language known for its ease of use and speed, now has a standardized, open-source framework (JACC) to achieve performance portability across diverse HPC architectures, reducing software development barriers.
