OptimR Module for R version 4.0.2
PAF version 4.01 includes the latest release of R (4.0.2) optimized and compiled with open source Message Passing Interface (Open MPI 4.0.4) support. Our code examples run twice as fast as the same code running under conventionally compiled R on only a single core. The performance is likely even better in multi-core environments. This could have a considerable impact on your calculation, but, like any computing, it depends on exactly what you are doing.
As with any interpreted language invoked under Linux the way to use the compiled R we provide is through use of the shebang syntax.
To use PAF optimized R this start scripts with this shebang line:
#!/usr/local/bin/Rscript
Note: the version of R we have added to the operating system is under /usr/local/.
