Case Study: BlackRock upgrades Aladdin analytics with Julia Computing

BlackRock Using Julia for its next generation analytics platform

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager with nearly $5 trillion under management, needed a way to strengthen the analytics behind its flagship Aladdin platform. The firm’s quants turned to Julia Computing and the Julia language to improve performance, simplify development, and support single-language deployment for analytics workloads.

Julia Computing helped BlackRock build analytics modules for Aladdin in Julia, including time series data analytics and big data applications. The result was faster analytics development and strong performance gains, with BlackRock publicly highlighting the ease of use and deployment benefits of Julia Computing’s solution.
