ABSTRACT

In the last few years R has emerged as a preferred data processing
solution due to efforts from both industry and academia. Soon, R will
be the de facto standard for data processing. In this talk I will
discuss the usefulness of R as a data processing system, give broad
perspectives on efforts across the board to deal with large data and
discuss my own effort centered around rglade, an R package that allows
R to "talk" to GLADE, a large data processing system I'm developing at
UF. The talk should be of interest to any user of R that is concerned
about performance or anybody with large data to process. I will show R
in action on processing 1-10TB datasets as part of the talk to
convince you that such large data can be dealt with
