“Topics in High-Performance Computing with R for EveRyone”
ABSTRACT
This talk will explore a range of topics related to high-performance computing with R, accessible to R users at all levels working on standard (i.e. laptop or workstation) hardware. An understanding of a few subtle features of the language can go a long way towards improving speed and memory-efficiency, and the implications to so-called 'Big Data' problems will be obvious. The talk with revolve around a small number of reproducible toy examples -- minimal sufficient (in a sense) for achieving the goals. There will be no theorems or proofs.
