Description: In this workshop, participants will learn how to access the UL FS HPC system, how to start R on this system, how to clone a prepared project from GITHUB, and how to perform advanced data management with R by utilising all parallel programming R libraries and available supercomputing resources.
INTRODUCTION TO R
- Connecting to HPC@UL
- Running R and Rstudio
- Cloning prepared project form GITHUB
- Standard data management operations on data frames
- Data management with dplyr, magrit
ADVANCED AND PARALLEL BIG DATA MANAGEMENT WITH R
- Data manipulations with apply functions apply, lapply, sapply, vapply, tapply, and mapply
- Big Data management with function for efficient parallel loops parLapply, parSapply, mcLapply and foreach-dopar
- Big data management and analysis with library Rmpi
- Creating slurm jobs for parallel big data management and analysis with R
Workflow:
The workshop will take place virtually via the Zoom system, and remote access to HPCFS will also be used.
Skills to be gained:
- Connecting to a supercomputer via NoMachine and SSH
- Transferring and storing data on a supercomputer
- How to run and use software on a supercomputer
