pbdR 1.0

Overview

The "Programming with Big Data in R" project (pbdR) is a set of highly scalable R packages for distributed computing and profiling in data science.

Our packages include high performance, high-level interfaces to MPI, ZeroMQ, ScaLAPACK, NetCDF4, PAPI, and more. While these libraries shine brightest on large distributed platforms, they also work rather well on small clusters and usually, surprisingly, even on a laptop with only two cores.

Winner of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory 2016 Significant Event Award for "Harnessing HPC Capability at OLCF with the R Language for Deep Data Science." OLCF is the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility, which currently includes Titan, the most powerful computer system in the US.
