[julia-users] BinDeps fails to find a built dependency (but only on Travis)

2014-12-10 Thread Michael Eastwood
I'm in the process of wrapping part of an important tool for Radio Astronomers: CasaCore (relevant branch: https://github.com/mweastwood/CasaCore.jl/tree/maketraviswork). Unfortunately CasaCore is a C++ library, so I have first written a C interface that needs to be compiled. I am using BinDep

Wow, I really appreciate all the work you've put into this so far. I hadn't been aware of any Debian packages for CasaCore, but it looks like the SKA has packaged CasaCore (https://launchpad.net/~ska-sa/+archive/ubuntu/main). It's not immediately obvious to me which package is needed from that repo

[julia-users] moving data to workers for distributed workloads

2016-05-18 Thread Michael Eastwood
Hi julia-users! I need some help with distributing a workload across tens of workers across several machines. The problem I am trying to solve involves calculating the elements of a large block diagonal matrix. The total size of the blocks is >500 GB, so I cannot store the entire thing in memory.

Hi Matthew, ClusterUtils.jl looks very useful. I will definitely try it out. Am I correct in reading that the trick to moving input to the workers is here ? You're also corr

[julia-users] starting a worker limits blas to one thread

2016-06-02 Thread Michael Eastwood
Hello julia-users, I've noticed that if I start a worker blas is all of the sudden restricted to only running on one thread. See for example the following log. Here I multiply a large matrix by itself, add a remote worker, and repeat the multiplication (on the master process). In the latter case b

[julia-users] How do I move an array of strings from C to Julia?

2016-10-12 Thread Michael Eastwood
Hello julia-users, I maintain a package that wraps a C++ library. One feature of this library is called "tables". These tables are a widely used data format in my field and they can store arrays of ints, floats, doubles, complexs, and strings (the library defines a custom string type but it can be
