  • A Comparative Evaluation of Matlab, Octave, R, and Julia on Maya 1 Introduction
    A Comparative Evaluation of Matlab, Octave, R, and Julia on Maya Sai K. Popuri and Matthias K. Gobbert* Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Maryland, Baltimore County *Corresponding author: [email protected], www.umbc.edu/~gobbert Technical Report HPCF{2017{3, hpcf.umbc.edu > Publications Abstract Matlab is the most popular commercial package for numerical computations in mathematics, statistics, the sciences, engineering, and other fields. Octave is a freely available software used for numerical computing. R is a popular open source freely available software often used for statistical analysis and computing. Julia is a recent open source freely available high-level programming language with a sophisticated com- piler for high-performance numerical and statistical computing. They are all available to download on the Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X operating systems. We investigate whether the three freely available software are viable alternatives to Matlab for uses in research and teaching. We compare the results on part of the equipment of the cluster maya in the UMBC High Performance Computing Facility. The equipment has 72 nodes, each with two Intel E5-2650v2 Ivy Bridge (2.6 GHz, 20 MB cache) proces- sors with 8 cores per CPU, for a total of 16 cores per node. All nodes have 64 GB of main memory and are connected by a quad-data rate InfiniBand interconnect. The tests focused on usability lead us to conclude that Octave is the most compatible with Matlab, since it uses the same syntax and has the native capability of running m-files. R was hampered by somewhat different syntax or function names and some missing functions.

Different optimal choices for different tasks ‣ statistics ➞ R ‣ linear algebra ➞ Matlab ‣ string processing ➞ Perl ‣ general programming ➞ Python, Java ‣ performance, control ➞ C, C++, Fortran Larger projects commonly use a mixture of 2, 3, 4, ...

What we are trying to do: ‣ allow developing complete technical projects in a single language without sacrificing productivity or performance This does not mean not using components in other languages! ‣ Julia uses C, C++ and Fortran libraries extensively “Because We Are Greedy.” “We want a language that’s open source, with a liberal license. We want the speed of C with the dynamism of Ruby. We want a language that’s homoiconic, with true macros like Lisp, but with obvious, familiar mathematical notation like Matlab. We want something as usable for general programming as Python, as easy for statistics as R, as natural for string processing as Perl, as powerful for linear algebra as Matlab, as good at gluing programs together as the shell. Something that is dirt simple to learn, yet keeps the most serious hackers happy.” Collapsing Dichotomies Many of these are just a matter of design and focus ‣ stats vs. linear algebra vs. strings vs.

    AN INTRODUCTION TO R DEEPAYAN SARKAR Introduction and examples What is R?. R provides an environment in which you can perform statistical analysis and produce graphics. It is actually a complete programming language, although that is only marginally described in this book. |Peter Dalgaard, \Introductory Statistics with R", 2002 R can be viewed as a programming language that happens to come with a large library of pre-defined functions that can be used to perform various tasks. A major focus of these pre-defined functions is statistical data analysis, and these allow R to be used purely as a toolbox for standard statistical techniques. However, some knowledge of R programming is essential to use it well at any level. For advanced users in particular, the main appeal of R (as opposed to other data analysis software) is as a programming environment suited to data analysis. Our goal will be to learn R as a statistics toolbox, but with a fairly strong emphasis on its programming language aspects. In this tutorial, we will do some elementary statistics, learn to use the documentation system, and learn about common data structures and programming features in R. Some follow-up tutorials are available for self-study at http://www.isid.ac.in/~deepayan/R-tutorials/. For more resources, see the R Project homepage http://www.r-project.org, which links to various manuals and other user-contributed documentation. A list of books related to R is available at http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-jabref.html. An excellent introductory book is Peter Dalgaard, \Introductory Statistics with R", Springer (2002).

    A little bit of help with Maple School of Mathematics and Applied Statistics University of Wollongong 2008 A little bit of help with Maple Welcome! The aim of this manual is to provide you with a little bit of help with Maple. Inside you will find brief descriptions on a lot of useful commands and packages that are commonly needed when using Maple. Full worked examples are presented to show you how to use the Maple commands, with different options given, where the aim is to teach you Maple by example – not by showing the full technical detail. If you want the full detail, you are encouraged to look at the Maple Help menu. To use this manual, a basic understanding of mathematics and how to use a computer is assumed. While this manual is based on Version 10.01 of Maple on the PC platform on Win- dows XP, most of it should be applicable to other versions, platforms and operating systems. This handbook is built upon the original version of this handbook by Maureen Edwards and Alex Antic. Further information has been gained from the Help menu in Maple itself.

  • Julia: a Fresh Approach to Numerical Computing∗
    SIAM REVIEW c 2017 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Vol. 59, No. 1, pp. 65–98 Julia: A Fresh Approach to Numerical Computing∗ Jeff Bezansony Alan Edelmanz Stefan Karpinskix Viral B. Shahy Abstract. Bridging cultures that have often been distant, Julia combines expertise from the diverse fields of computer science and computational science to create a new approach to numerical computing. Julia is designed to be easy and fast and questions notions generally held to be \laws of nature" by practitioners of numerical computing: 1. High-level dynamic programs have to be slow. 2. One must prototype in one language and then rewrite in another language for speed or deployment. 3. There are parts of a system appropriate for the programmer, and other parts that are best left untouched as they have been built by the experts. We introduce the Julia programming language and its design|a dance between special- ization and abstraction. Specialization allows for custom treatment. Multiple dispatch, a technique from computer science, picks the right algorithm for the right circumstance. Abstraction, which is what good computation is really about, recognizes what remains the same after differences are stripped away. Abstractions in mathematics are captured as code through another technique from computer science, generic programming. Julia shows that one can achieve machine performance without sacrificing human con- venience. Key words.
