Data Science with R and pbdR at ORNL: From the CADES cloud to the OLCF
Data Science with R and pbdR at ORNL: From the CADES cloud to the OLCF
Oak Ridge National Laboratory (on-site)
June 18, 2018
Building 5100, RM 128 (JICS Auditorium)
10:00 AM – 3:00 PM (please see additional details below)
Instructors: Drew Schmidt and George Ostrouchov
About the Event
R is an exceedingly popular data science package. In fact, by some measures, R is the most popular software package for the analysis of data.
This tutorial will help attendees leverage ORNL’s unique resources with R. It is separated into two modules. The first is dedicated to using the CADES birthright cloud OpenStack resource. We will discuss different ways to connect to and manage R sessions, including using RStudio server and the Shiny framework. We will also briefly discuss some performance optimization strategies. The second module will focus on how to effectively achieve distributed parallelism on machines like Titan and Summit with R and the pbdR packages.
We will hold the first module from 10:00-12:00, have a 1 hour break for lunch and/or Q&A, and then hold the second module from 1:00-3:00. The second module will be lecture style, but the first will be highly interactive. Attendees are encouraged to bring their laptop and to sign up for a birthright cloud allocation in advance: https://support.cades.ornl.gov/index.php/birthright-cloud/
More information, including the slides and software pre-requisites, will be made available before the tutorial at
