R hands-on seminar 〜Let’s use R on OCTOPUS〜

Please note that this session will be given a lecture in Japanese.
 

Overview

  In this seminar, the basics of R programming and parallelism and the way to use R on our large-scale computer systems are treated in a hands-on manner. It comes with a "free trial account" that allows you to use your supercomputer freely for a week.
 R is a promising programming language for statistical computing. It is expected to be used in various scientific areas partly because it provides rich libraries for machine learning like Python. On the other hand, it requires a large amount of memory space for large-scale data analysis.
 

Target

  • Those who have too much data to analyze on your commodity PC
  • Those who are interested in parallel computing in R
