Workshop: Parallel Processing in R on Your Own Machine

Wed, Mar 6, 2019, 10:30 am

Contemporary computer chips have multiple cores, but R will run your programs on only of them, even if your task could performed in parallel. In this workshop we will see how to identify which tasks can be done in parallel and show how make them go faster by spreading their computation across cores on your machine.
