Abstract The Slurm job-scheduler (currently used by USC) provides a flexible infrastructure for all your computing needs. From submitting a single-core-long-running-job to complex multi-node-tasks, Slurm covers all scientists' needs in terms of computational resources management. The R programming language, although not HPC-ready, has multiple community-based solutions to integrate your computational pipeline with HPC settings, including Slurm. In this workshop, we will illustrate how to use R with USC's HPC cluster, covering from the very basics, like submitting a simple R script, to the more complex-powerful settings, like using multinode socket clusters using dozens or hundreds of cores in the same R session. The workshop will be led by USC's Division of Biostatistics at the Keck School of Medicine.

Lynn Ann Conway (born January 2, 1938) is an American computer scientist, electrical engineer, inventor, and transgender activist. Conway is notable for a number of pioneering achievements. She worked at IBM in the 1960s and is credited with the invention of generalized dynamic instruction handling, a key advance used in out-of-order execution, used by most modern computer processors to improve performance. -- (Wiki)
