 +===== Scaling R to large data sets =====
 +
 +Most of our hands-on examples work reasonably well in a standard R installation, even on a moderately powerful laptop computer.
 +However, if you intend to work on real-life tasks and process large DSMs, it is important to enable multi-threaded computation
 +in R. Since DSMs build on matrix operations, a multi-threaded linear algebra library (“BLAS”) is key.
 +
 +  - In Linux, it should be sufficient to install the OpenBLAS package, e.g. in Ubuntu: ''sudo apt install libopenblas-dev''
 +  - In MacOS, follow [[https://groups.google.com/g/r-sig-mac/c/YN6uNYCIZK0|these instructions]] to enable the VecLib BLAS built into MacOS.  You may also want to [[https://mac.r-project.org/openmp/|enable OpenMP]] for an additional speed boost on expensive distance metrics (but this is less important).
 +  - In Windows, you can try installing [[https://mran.microsoft.com/open|Microsoft R Open]] or do a Web search for alternative solutions.
