Remember the old times where you had to leave your R simulations running for the whole night on your desktop due to a large climate/weather dataset?

ExaGeoStatR combines the user productivity of R with high performance computing linear algebra software libraries to deliver supercomputing-style environment right below your desk.

ExaGeoStatR enables computing the maximum likelihood using large environmental datasets on R, while extracting performance from the underlying hardware resources. The time to solution is reduced from hours to minutes, permitting computational statisticians to further concentrate on analysis.
