Thank you!
Concurrency and parallel programming
- Multi-threaded applications through .
#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <thread>
using namespace std;
//The functions we want to make the thread run.
void task1(string msg)
{
cout << "task1 says: " << msg;
}
void task2(string msg)
{
cout << "task1 says: " << msg;
}
//Main loop.
int main()
{
thread t1(task1, "Task 1 executed");
thread t2(task2, "Task 1 executed");
//let main wait for t1 and t2 to finish.
t1.join();
t2.join();

Parallel computing
- Parallel computing is extremely simple to implement from R.
# install.packages('foreach'); install.packages('doSNOW')
library(foreach)
library(doSNOW)
cl <- makeCluster(2, type = "SOCK")
registerDoSNOW(cl)
getDoParName()
#matrix operators
x <- foreach(i=1:8, .combine='rbind', .packages='wholebrain' ) %:%
foreach(j=1:2, .combine='c', .packages='wholebrain' ) %dopar% {
l <- runif(1, i, 100)
i + j + l
}R package
- Why R?
- Standard data analysis:
- load some data
- estimate the density distribution.
- plot it
- Standard data analysis:
xx <- faithful$eruptions
fit <- density(xx)
plot(fit)
R package
- Why R?
#Line 1: loading
xx <- faithful$eruptions
#Line 2: estimate density
fit1 <- density(xx)
#Line 2: draw 10'000 bootstraps
fit2 <- replicate(10000, {
x <- sample(xx,replace=TRUE);
density(x, from=min(fit1$x), to=max(fit1$x))$y
})
#Line 3: compute 95% error "bars"
fit3 <- apply(fit2, 1, quantile,c(0.025,0.975))
#Line 4: plot the estimate
plot(fit1, ylim=range(fit3))
#Line 5: add estimation error as shaded region
polygon(c(fit1$x,rev(fit1$x)), c(fit3[1,], rev(fit3[2,])), col=’grey’, border=F)
#Line 6: add the line again since the polygon overshadows it.
lines(fit1)
What other language can do this in 6 lines of code?
