R Modeling for TwinFin i-Class

Objective
Learn how to use TwinFin i-Class for scaling up the R language.

Description
In this class, you’ll learn how to use R to create models using huge data and how to create R algorithms that exploit our asymmetric massively parallel (AMPP®) architecture. Netezza has seamlessly integrated with R to offload the heavy lifting of the computational processing on TwinFin i-Class. This results in higher performance and increased scalability for R. Sign up for this class to learn how to take advantage of TwinFin i-Class for your R modeling. Topics include:

R CRAN package installation on TwinFin i-Class

Creating models using R on TwinFin i-Class

Creating R algorithms for TwinFin i-Class

Format
Hands-on classroom lecture, lab exercises, tour

Audience
Knowledgeable R users – modelers, analytic developers, data miners

Course Length
0.5 day: 12pm-4pm Wednesday, June 23 OR 8am-12pm Thursday, June 24 OR 1pm-5pm Thursday, June 24, 2010

Delivery
Enzee Universe 2010, Boston, MA

Student Prerequisites

Working knowledge of R and parallel computing

Have analytic, compute-intensive challenges

Understanding of data mining and analytics

One thought on “R Modeling with huge data”

The Netezza “appliance” is quite impressive. I used it with SAS rather than R during a short project with Wolters-Kluwer Healthcare Analytics unit last summer. It is lightning fast. Ours was configured to run a slightly modified version of Oracle’s SQL, nothing too different.

It would be most interesting to get some first-hand feedback from those who used it with R instead of SAS!
