I work on the #atomistic simulations of materials, mainly density-functional theory (DFT) methods, understanding #simulation errors and #uncertainties in predicted materials properties.

I use techniques from
#physics #computerscience #machinelearning and
develop related #julia packages such as the density-functional toolkit (#dftk).

Software engineering is entering a new era. AI will take over routine coding, leaving engineers to focus on AI governance, security, and strategic development. But as AI dependency grows, how can we ensure stability and control over automated systems?

Trajectories of a bunch of ultra high energy cosmic ray protons (initial energy 1e18eV, but there are losses) propagating across a simulated cosmic volume with a realistic magnetic field model, which deflect the protons via Lorentz force.

(propagation with self written #Julia code).

Honestly, I really dislike #Python. Coming from #Lua, I find it really messy. So I downloaded #Julia and loaded it into #Jupyter. I've just fiddled with it, but I find it so much better for mathematical work. I really wish there was a modern spiritual successor for Lua though...

Remember when I mentioned we had ported our #fire propagation #cellularAutomaton from #Python to #Julia, gaining performance and the ability to parallelize more easily and efficiently?

A couple of days ago we had to run another big batch of simulations and while things progressed well at the beginning, we saw the parallel threads apparently hanging one by one until the whole process sat there doing who know what.

Our initial suspicion was that we had come across some weird #JuliaLang issue with #multithreading, which seemed to be confirmed by some posts we found on the Julia forums. We tried the workarounds suggested there, to no avail. We tried a different number of threads, and this led to the hang occurring after a different percent completion. We tried restarting the simulations skipping the ones already done. It always got stuck at the same place (for the same number of threads).

So, what was the problem?
