R in Parallel

Jacqueline Nolis, Saturn Cloud

When using R you sometimes have situations where your code could run much faster if it was parallelized. Having code run concurrently can give a great speed boost, but learning how to run R code in parallel can seem like steep learning curve. In this live workshop we'll give a straight-forward introduction to running concurrent code with R packages future, furrr, and callr. We'll cover how to spawn concurrent tasks, iterate over lists in parallel, and integrate parallelization into your existing R workflows. By the end of the workshop you should be ready to add concurrency to your R code!
