[FIRM] Vortrag im Rahmen unserer HPC Reihe

[Stefan Theussl]

Liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen,

Ich moechte Sie recht herzlich zu einem weiteren Vortrag im Rahmen 
unserer HPC Reihe einladen.

Dirk Eddelbuettel - Seamless R and C++ Integration

The Rcpp package simplifies integrating C++ code with R. It provides a 
consistent C++ class
hierarchy that maps various types of R objects (vectors, functions, 
environments, ...) to dedicated
C++ classes. Object interchange between R and C++ is managed by simple, 
flexible
and extensible concepts which include broad support for popular C++ 
idioms from the Standard
Template Library (STL). Using the inline package, C++ code can be 
compiled, linked and
loaded on the fly. Flexible error and exception code handling is 
provided. Rcpp substantially
lowers the barrier for programmers wanting to combine C++ code with R.
We discuss and motivate the two APIs provided by Rcpp: the older 
‘classic’ API introduced
with the early releases of the package, and the ‘new’ API that results 
from a recent redesign. We
provided simple examples that show how Rcpp improves upon the standard R 
API, demonstrate
performance implications of different program designs and show how R can 
take advantage
of modern C++ programming techniques, including template metaprogramming 
(TMP). The
combination of modern C++ together with the interactive environment 
provided by R creates
a very compelling combination for statistical programming.

Stattfinden wird der Vortrag am 20.5. von 18:00 bis 19:00 im Seminarraum 
des Instituts fuer Statistik und Mathematik (UZA 2, Ebene 4).

Ich freue mich schon auf reges Interesse.

Mit freundlichen Gruessen,
Stefan Theussl
