High-performance computing in R at useR! 2008

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 18:32:05 +0000

[Mario's Entangled Bank] I have been using R on our in-house cluster for a few years now, and although it may sound a bit counterintuitive to run a high-level interpreted language such as R in a high-performance computing environment such as a cluster (most people would use a low-level compiled language like C for example), using R has the big advantage of allowing very fast prototyping. In other words, although the R code runs slower on the cluster than native C code would do it takes much less time to code it.

Cloud Computing and Web Hosting

eboundhost.com" align="right" class="thumb"/>[BLOG > eboundhost.com] Today’s providers who claim to live in the Cloud, are using traditional hosting technology masked with a very fancy control panel. In my opinion, cloud computing still has a long way to go before it’s going to be useful for our industry. Today this technology is useful to a handful of customers. For the rest of us, we have Shared hosting, VPS hosting, and Dedicated hosting. With the incredible pace of technological advancement of individual servers, I don’t see a reason to move to the cloud. Today’s web servers are more powerful than yesterdays supercomputers and this trend will continue for a long time yet.
