Summit is proud to share that Elizabeth Byerly, Senior Analyst and Data System Architect at Summit Consulting, will present an AMSTAT-sponsored web lecture entitled "Parallel and Cluster Computing with R" on Tuesday, September 27, 2016, from 12:00 P.M.–1:30 P.M. EST.
About the webinar:
Parallel programming is an essential tool for computationally intensive statistical methods. This webinar focuses on the basics of parallel programming in R and includes first principles of cluster computing. We will define parallelizable problems with examples, introduce base R functions for parallel programming, and walk through configuring multiple systems to communicate and share parallel operations (cluster computing). Attendees should expect to leave knowing how to adapt functions to run in parallel, including how to distribute data and retrieve outputs, and the requirements to build a cluster computing system. The webinar's content will require no advance preparation and is appropriate for analysts who are intermediate R programmers.
