Parallel and high performance computing with R

Please be aware that this webinar was developed for our legacy systems. As a consequence, some parts of the webinar or its entirety may not be applicable to the national systems (Graham, Cedar, Beluga etc.).

In this seminar we will talk about the use of R in a parallel processing environment. We will discuss the general issues concerning the performance of R code, the intrinsic features of R and parallelization by looking at a few simple examples of Monte Carlo simulations. The targeted audience are those who have had experience with R but not much with parallel processing.
