All,


The next New York R Meetup is happening on May 14th and this month's topic
is High Performance Computing with R. If you happen to be in New York during
this time, you should come along. The event details are available at
http://www.meetup.com/nyhackr/calendar/10251302/

I look forward to seeing you there.

Many people use R as a desktop application, limited to the resources of the
machine on which it runs. For datasets larger than RAM, or for
computationally intensive operations this can be quite limiting. There are a
number of approaches used to break through the barriers imposed by running R
on a single machine. The High Performance Computing view on CRAN provides an
overview of some of these techniques:

Presentations:


   - Shane Conway - Best practices for efficient code in R
   - John Myles White - Using R in a clustered environment with SNOW / Rmpi
   - David Rosenberg - HadoopStreaming package
   - Steve Weston - REvolution Computing's foreach and iterator optimized
   code.
