JuliaCon 2019, held July 22-26, 2019 at the University of Maryland in Baltimore, was the biggest and best JuliaCon to date. The JuliaCon session below, “Composable Multi-Threaded Parallelism in Julia,” was presented by Jeff Bezanson and Jameson Nash (Julia Computing). The talk discusses the release of a preview of an entirely new threading interface for Julia programs: general task parallelism, inspired by parallel programming systems like Cilk, Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB) and Go. Task parallelism is now available in the v1.3.0-alpha release, an early preview of Julia version 1.3.0 likely to be released in a couple months. You can find binaries with this feature on the downloads page, or build the master branch from source.
