This is the last workshop in the R-series. The final session will focus on using servers for parallel processing. During this session, we will use all the learnings from “Basic concepts before code-parallelization in R” to speed up codes using computing servers. These workshops are open to all academics (from PhD students, to Lecturers, and Professors).
When: Friday, June 20th from 9.30 to 12.00 hrs.
Where:
- Onsite: If more than 4 people register onsite, otherwise, will be fully online.
- Online: The Zoom link will be sent via email.

Learning Outcomes
- [June 20th] Servers and Code-parallelization in R
At the end of the session the students will be able to:
