Talk:Programming with Big Data in R

Trimmed from lead edit

These afterthoughts at the bottom of the lead are not adding clarity IMO, so I've trimmed them off, until someone figures out a way to sort this out enough to make it a value add.

It is clear that pbdR is not only suitable for small clusters, but is also more stable for analyzing big data and more scalable for supercomputers.[third-party source needed] In short, pbdR

  • does not like Rmpi, snow, snowfall, do-like,[clarification needed] nor parallel packages in R,
  • does not focus on interactive computing nor master/workers,
  • but is able to use both SPMD and task parallelisms.

The actual markup:

It is clear that pbdR is not only suitable for small [[Computer cluster|clusters]], but is also more stable for analyzing [[big data]] and more scalable for [[supercomputer]]s.<ref>{{cite book|author=Schmidt, D., Ostrouchov, G., Chen, W.-C., and Patel, P.|title=Tight Coupling of R and Distributed Linear Algebra for High-Level Programming with Big Data|year=2012|pages=811–815|journal=High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SCC), 2012 SC Companion|url=http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2477156|doi=10.1109/SC.Companion.2012.113|isbn=978-0-7695-4956-9}}</ref>{{third-party-inline|date=October 2014}} In short, pbdR

Probably the restored version needs to begin "According to D. Schmidt, et al, R is suitable for $purpose.

Then the three verbs 'like', 'focus', and 'able' need to revised into encyclopedia tone. — MaxEnt 04:48, 22 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
