From Terminal to Browser: R and RStudio on HPC

This workshop provides a comprehensive guide to mastering R on the Tufts HPC, covering everything from basic module loading to complex cluster-scale analysis.

We will explore how to transition seamlessly between environments, starting with running R in the terminal and graduating to automated Slurm batch scripts for heavy computation.

You will learn the best practices for installing R packages on a shared filesystem to ensure your libraries are stable and persistent.

Finally, we will dive into the Open OnDemand platform, demonstrating how to launch interactive RStudio sessions directly in your web browser for a powerful, user-friendly data analysis experience.
