Overview

About

Maintained by Mark Seligman1 releasesCRAN page ↗

WideLM fits large numbers of linear models to a fixed design matrix and response. An Nvidia GPU is used to accelerate model fitting, with the CUDA API enabling parallel execution of multiple individual fits. The individual models must have modest size. The package implements a chunking interface to the GPU kernel, allowing the caller to stream model specifications. Hence the number of fits to be performed is essentially unlimited.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/WideLM/WideLM_0.1-1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "WideLM_0.1-1.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1-1) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
