Extending R packages to support 64-bit compiled code: An illustration with spam64 and GIMMS NDVI3g data

Software packages for spatial data often implement a hybrid approach of interpreted and compiled programming languages. The compiled parts are usually written in C, C++, or Fortran, and are efficient in terms of computational speed and memory usage. Conversely, the…
