High Performance Computing with R
Description: The R programming language has become the standard tool for data science, statistics, and bioinformatics. This course focuses on making your R code as fast as possible, including topics on performance optimization and parallelization. There will be a major emphasis on newer additions to the language, in particular, the “tidyverse” set of packages.
Instructor: Jeff Stafford, Centre for Advanced Computing, Queen's University
Prerequisites: Some prior experience with R will be helpful, though experience programming in any language should suffice.
