Very interesting, particularly the Challenges section:

"Differences between the behavior of MATLAB and Julia’s core linear algebra libraries led to many roadblocks in the development of DSGE.jl. Julia uses multithreaded BLAS functions for some linear algebra functions. Using a different number of threads can change the results of matrix decomposition when the matrix is singular. This indeterminacy caused significant problems for our testing suite, both in comparing output matrices to MATLAB results and in testing for reproducibility among Julia outputs."

Kudos to them for taking this on, I think.
