PLEASE NOTE: This event has been rescheduled for Wednesday, May 26th from 5:30-7:00pm PT.

Ready to learn how to write faster code? In this workshop, Danielle will provide an overview on parallel processing - that is, how to take advantage of your computer’s multicore processor to complete large tasks more quickly. We will cover what parallel processing is, when to use it, and review some packages and code to get started with parallelization in R.
