Hi, I am looking for some good online (prefereably free) resources where I can learn "parallel computing" from scratch using Python or R programming languages. Thanks.
Maybe it is a little bit out of scope, but I found this info some time ago, and it was quite useful when optimising time-consuming processes in R. I hope it will help you too.
Hi, Asif. I think the aim of parallel computing is to improve the computional efficiency, this is important in numerical simulation or massive cluster computing. Different programming languages more or less have their own advantages in supportting parallel. What I want to express is that the selection of Python or R or other open source languages is not important except your scientific&practical aims. In our experiences, at nowadays, the hardware is more important in parallel computing, so the language should be more compatiable to such hard ware's capability.
