High Performance R by Laurae
Please use Linux, because Windows CAN NOT BENEFIT WELL at all from performance gains using parallelization without compiling R with a Windows-native toolchain (not MinGW).
me = wants download
Requires Rcpp
(CRAN download) and parallel
(preinstalled) packages.
devtools::install_github("Laurae2/LauraeCpp", upgrade_dependencies = FALSE)

Example of a parallel mean on a 10,000,000,000 length numeric vector (10 billion and 80GiB !!!).
Server:
- Dual Xeon Gold 6130 (2x 16 cores / 32 threads, 2.8 GHz all turbo, 3.7 GHz singlethread)
- 384GB RAM (12 x 32GB RAM, 2666 MHz)
- R 3.5.0 compiled using gcc-5.4,
-O3 -mtune=native
flags - Linux Subsystem for Windows, Ubuntu 16.04
- BIOS additional settings: UMA mode (not NUMA)
CPU frequency:
Frequency | CPU loaded |
---|---|
3.7 GHz | 1, 2 |
3.5 GHz | 3, 4 |
3.4 GHz | 5, 6, 7, 8 |
3.1 GHz | 9, 10, 11, 12 |
2.8 GHz | 13, 14, 15, 16 |
2.8 GHz | 17-32 |
On a 80GiB (74.5GB) vector (10,000,000,000 elements), parallel mean:
> set.seed(1)
> my_vec <- runif(n = 1e10, min = -0.5, max = 1)
> object.size(my_vec)
80000000048 bytes
Repeats per number of threads from 1 to 64:
# Approx 4521.241 seconds total
> ceiling(20 * log(seq_len(64) + 1))
