Fall 2017 Training Schedule
1. November 1, 2017: Parallel Computing with R
| Topic | Parallel Computing with R |
| Date | November 1, 2017 |
| Time | 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM |
| Place | 307 Frey |
| Description | R is a widely used language in data analysis with rich features. Its performance, however, is limited by the fact that it is single-threaded. On the other hand, to take advantage of the processing power of HPC clusters, computer programs need to be able to run in parallel. In this tutorial, we will focus on how to use the "parallel" package in R and a few related packages to parallelize and enhance the performance of R programs. Prerequisites

Virtual Images
For benefit of Training particpants who do not have ready access to a Linux machine, we have created a virtual image of CentOS 6.3. You can use this image in lieu of a LONI or LSU HPC account for some, but not all of our training courses. More details about this image and installation instructions are provided here
