Tune in to NIMBioS tomorrow for an introductory tutorial on using R for
high performance computing.
*When:* 1-5 p.m. Eastern, Friday, Feb. 27
*What:* By some measures, R is the most popular software package for the
analysis of data. But R has a reputation for being sluggish and
inappropriate for large datasets. However, much of R's problems with
performance and scalability are due to bad practices of individual
programmers rather than being inherent limitations of R itself. We will
introduce participants to debugging, profiling and performance analysis,
optimization, foreign language API's, and parallel programming with R.
*Who Should Attend: *The tutorial is ideally suited for those already
working with R, as well as service providers who are serving R
customers. The content is appropriate for any students, researchers, or
staff who are working with R and interested in performance.
