Users of the R language often require more compute capacity than their local machines can handle. However, scaling up their work to take advantage of cloud capacity can be complex, troublesome, and can often distract R users from focusing on their algorithms.
We are excited to announce doAzureParallel – a lightweight R package built on top of Azure Batch, that allows you to easily use Azure’s flexible compute resources right from your R session. doAzureParallel compliments Microsoft R Server by providing the infrastructure for running massive compute parallel simulations.
