Vec: Pozvanka na prednasku profesora G. Ostrouchova, Oak Ridge National
      Laboratory, USA, na tema : Pouziti programoveho systemu R na
      superpocitacove platforme Narodniho superpocitacoveho centra CR.

Vazene kolegyne a kolegove,

jak jste jiste zaregistrovali, na Ostravske Univerzite byla nedavno
provoznena prvni faze patrne nejvetsiho super-pocitace v CR v ramci
Narodniho superpocitacoveho centra CR.

Pri teto prilezitosti se ve dnech 12-15 ledna 2015 v Ostrave kona
Winter School 2015 - HPC Tools for Data Intensive Processing
(https://events.prace-ri.eu/conferenceProgram.py?confId=330#Analytics.).

V navaznosti na tuto Zimni skolu si Vas dovoluji jmenem KPMS MFF UK a
Ceske statisticke spolecnosti pozvat na prednasku Profesora George
(Jiriho) Ostrouchova o moznosti vyuziti programoveho systemu R na
pocitacove platforme Narodniho superpocitacoveho centra
(http://www.it4i.cz/).

Prednaska se kona v patek 16. ledna 2015 od 13.10 v poslucharne K3 na
MFF UK v Praze Karline, Sokolovska 83, 2. patro. Zajemci jsou srdecne
vitani.

PS Tem, kteri pozvanku dostanou z ruznych zdroju, se omluvam za sireni
    redundantni informace.

ABSTRACT

The R language has been called the "lingua franca" of data analysis and
statistical computing. This tutorial will introduce attendees to the
basics of the R language with a focus on its recent high performance
extensions enabled by the ``Programming with Big Data in R'' (pbdR)
project, which is aimed at medium to large HPC platforms. The overview
part of the tutorial will include a brief introduction to R and an
introduction to the pbdR project and its use of scalable HPC libraries.

The first hands-on portion will include pbdR's profiling and its
simplified interface to MPI. We will cover a range of examples beginning
with simple MPI use through simple examples with data to more advanced
uses in statistics and data analysis. We will also introduce students to
concepts of partitioning data across nodes of a large platform.

The advanced topics portion will cover pbdR's connections to scalable
libraries and their partitioned data structure requirements. We will
cover ways of reading in and redistributing data. This will include R's
native data input, input from HDFS, as well as scalable input via ADIOS.
We also cover more advanced examples that make use of the distributed
data structures and object oriented components of R for identical
parallel and serial syntax capability in many functions.

The lecture will be given by George Ostrouchov. George is a Senior
Research Scientist in the Scientific Data Group at the Oak Ridge
National Laboratory and Joint Faculty Professor of Statistics at the
University of Tennessee. His doctoral work was on large sparse least
squares computations in data analysis. His research interests have been
for many years at the intersection of high performance computing and
statistics. He initiated and continues to lead the pbdR project. George
is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association.
