High-Performance Computing in R

In the world where data has become extremely important, scientists require tools to process large volumes of data efficiently. R became increasingly popular in recent years for data processing, statistical analysis, and data science. In this session we will discuss tools that measure the performance of an R code, so that we can understand the nature of performance issues. We will also describe techniques that will improve the computational speed of R code. Basic knowledge of programming in R assumed.
