Assuming you're eager to try once you've found out:

You should be able to simply download and unpack a binary from: https://julialang.org/downloads/ I'd strongly recommend going with the current stable release (1.6.1).

To start the Julia REPL:

  bin/julia

To install packages:

  using Pkg
  Pkg.add("BenchmarkTools")
  Pkg.add("LoopVectorization")

then you can copy/paste code from eigenspaces link to discourse to run Julia benchmarks. E.g., you can copy/paste from https://discourse.julialang.org/t/i-just-decided-to-migrate-... if you define

  using LoopVectorization
  const var"@tvectorize" = var"@tturbo"

(because `@tvectorize` has since been renamed on the latest releases)

Also, note that Julia starts with only a single thread by default. You'd either need to add `-t4` when starting julia, e.g. `julia -t4`, or set the environmental variable `JULIA_NUM_THREADS=4` for 4 threads, for example.
