Fast implementations of the co-operations: covariance, correlation, and cosine similarity. The implementations are fast and memory-efficient and their use is resolved automatically based on the input data, handled by R's S3 methods. Full descriptions of the algorithms and benchmarks are available in the package vignettes.

How much ram do you need to store a 100,000 by 100,000 matrix? How much ram is your current R session using? How much ram do you even have? Learn the scintillating answer to these and many more such questions with the 'memuse' package.

An n-gram is a sequence of n "words" taken, in order, from a body of text. This is a collection of utilities for creating, displaying, summarizing, and "babbling" n-grams. The 'tokenization' and "babbling" are handled by very efficient C code, which can even be built as its own standalone library. The babbler is a simple Markov chain. The package also offers a vignette with complete example 'workflows' and information about the utilities offered in the package.

An efficient interface to MPI by utilizing S4 classes and methods with a focus on Single Program/Multiple Data ('SPMD') parallel programming style, which is intended for batch parallel execution.

'ZeroMQ' is a well-known library for high-performance asynchronous messaging in scalable, distributed applications. This package provides high level R wrapper functions to easily utilize 'ZeroMQ'. We mainly focus on interactive client/server programming frameworks. For convenience, a minimal 'ZeroMQ' library (4.2.2) is shipped with 'pbdZMQ', which can be used if no system installation of 'ZeroMQ' is available. A few wrapper functions compatible with 'rzmq' are also provided.
