Join our R Optimization and Parallelization Tutorial to learn essential techniques to speed up your analysis with R. We will learn how to identify the bottlenecks in your code and review the main pitfalls that hinder R performance. We will also explore various packages and functions that can significantly shorten the time it takes to execute your code. The second part of the tutorial will be dedicated to R code parallelization. We will go over several R packages (such as parallel, foreach, snowfall) that can be used to run your R script using multiple CPU cores.
