Abstract

A new programming language for scientific computing has undergone rapid development since 2012. The language is named Julia– perhaps a reference to the beautiful fractal patterns of the Julia set. Julia is a high level programming language with an extensive library of mathematical functions that is easy to code and share with others. However, unlike other high level languages it offers C-like performance. It is an open source language with a large community of users and developers with a built-in package manager. The Signal Analysis and Imaging Group (SAIG) has recently released a seismic data processing package named Seismic.jl that contains utilities for reading and manipulating seismic data. We believe Julia is a great new language for research and teaching in the geosciences.
