Formerly Safari Books. You may need to login to use this collection. Click the Sign In button, but do not enter a password. A collection of technical e-books and videos in computer science and information technology, including programming languages, operating systems, software applications, and much more from O'Reilly and Pearson Technology Associates. Also included are imprints from Cisco Press, Adobe Press and Sams. The Safari search engine lets users locate information by finding all occurences of the search terms. Searches provide relevancy-ranked results, hit-lists of book chapters containing the search terms, complete tables-of-contents and indexes for each book, color charts, graphs and other illustrative materials, and cut-and-paste code segments.

The "Programming with Big Data in R" project (pbdR) is a set of highly scalable R packages for distributed computing and profiling in data science. Their packages include high performance, high-level interfaces to MPI, ZeroMQ, ScaLAPACK, NetCDF4, PAPI, and more. While these libraries shine brightest on large distributed platforms, they also work rather well on small clusters and usually, surprisingly, even on a laptop with only two cores. Winner of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory 2016 Significant Event Award for "Harnessing HPC Capability at OLCF with the R Language for Deep Data Science." OLCF is the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility, which currently includes Titan, the most powerful computer system in the US.
