JuliaHub Unveils Dyad: Merging Software Agility with Hardware Development

On June 26, 2025, JuliaHub, a key player in scientific computing, launched Dyad, an innovative system that brings the flexibility traditionally associated with software into the realm of hardware system design. This groundbreaking tool promises to bridge the gap between classical physical modeling and modern scientific machine learning (SciML), ensuring that it meets safety standards vital for critical applications.

The Vision Behind Dyad

Dr. Viral Shah, the CEO of JuliaHub and co-creator of the Julia programming language, emphasized the implications of Dyad. He remarked that Dyad was designed in close collaboration with industry experts from sectors such as aerospace, semiconductor manufacturing, and energy. The goal was to overcome the limitations posed by the isolated tools prevalent in the past. He stated, "Dyad utilizes our extensive experience with the Julia ecosystem, trusted by over a million users globally. Our collaboration with industry giants helped us identify and address the challenges they face."

Key Features of Dyad

Dyad is not just another engineering tool; it supports the entire product lifecycle, from rapid prototyping to production deployment. Here’s a rundown of some of the prominent features:

1. Unified Interface: Dyad provides both a top-tier textual programming interface for software development and a graphical user interface (GUI) tailored for engineers, ensuring a seamless transition between the two.

2. Agent-Based AI: It leverages agent-based AI workflows that enhance model creation, facilitate conversions from legacy systems, and significantly boost engineers’ productivity with an emphasis on product design.

3. Integrated Simulations and Workflows: Dyad includes integrated simulation and plotting workflows that utilize the rich analytical functions already existing within the Julia ecosystem, such as optimization and control systems.

4. Collaboration-Focused Engineering: Adhering to software engineering principles, Dyad aids in the development of scalable and collaborative projects in modeling, analysis, and digital engineering.

5. Seamless Data Integration: Unique SciML primitives allow for model discovery, automatic completion of missing physical data, and a smooth integration of field data into digital twin models.

6. Interoperability: Dyad supports the import and export of Functional Mock-up Units (FMUs), enhancing compatibility with a broad array of digital engineering tools.

A New Era of Engineering Tools

Dr. Michael Tiller, the developer behind Dyad, voiced his frustration over the outdated nature of engineering tools traditionally lagging behind software advancements. He sees Dyad as a reimagined toolset that maximizes modern technologies’ potential while capitalizing on significant AI innovations. He noted, "Dyad is our attempt to rethink modeling, simulation, and analysis tools to leverage the advancements in AI."

Dyad Studio, offered under an open-source license, allows engineers to understand its inner workings. It’s free for educational purposes and personal non-commercial use, with commercial licenses available through JuliaHub.
