Learn how to use R utilizing all cores of your or a supercomputer. You will learn how to prepare your serial R code so that it will be easier to run it in parallel. The parallel package will be introduced and you will be able to run some simple examples in parallel. Next, you will install the pbdMPI package in your project directory on our RMACC Summit supercomputer so that you can run R programs that utilize more than one compute node. You will then run some simple examples, including parallel random number generation, to get started and to familiarize yourself with running parallel R programs
