Programming

The topics of High Performance R course include:

• making use of the properties of R as a programming language to write efficient R code
• exploring performance issues of R code by benchmarking and profiling processes and memory usage
• parallel and distributed computing with R on both local and supercomputing resources.

The goal of this course is to:

• explore potential R code performance issues with benchmarking and profiling
• understand the key properties of the R language and how they relate to the computer’s resource management
• run R scripts with the batch job system on the supercomputer Puhti
• get started with parallel and distributed computing with R.
