Скачать или смотреть quickr: Translate R to Fortran for Improved Performance - Tomaz Kalinowski

This talk introduces 'quickr', an R package designed to make numerical R code faster by translating R functions to Fortran. While R code offers great flexibility, it often comes at the expense of performance, especially for computationally intensive tasks. To achieve better speed, users typically need to rewrite performance-critical code in compiled languages like C or Fortran, which adds complexity and creates maintenance overhead.

Quickr simplifies this process by allowing users to add simple type declarations to their existing R functions, which enables quickr to then automatically translate the entire function into efficient Fortran routines. The presentation will demonstrate quickr in practical applications, with benchmarks showing performance improvements comparable to native C implementations.

The talk will also cover current limitations, including supported data types and language features, and show how quickr can be easily integrated into existing R packages. Participants will learn how quickr can help improve their R code performance without significantly increasing development complexity or sacrificing the readability of their code.
