The R-help list is probably better for this sort of question. In any case,
the R newsletter is a great source of accumulated (& distilled!) wisdom,
and the following might be relevant.
@Article{Rnews:Li+Rossini:2001,
author = {Michael Na Li and A.J. Rossini},
title = {{RPVM}: Cluster Statistical Computing in {R}},
journal = {R News},
year = 2001,
volume = 1,
number = 3,
pages = {4--7},
month = {September},
url = {http://CRAN.R-project.org/doc/Rnews/}
}
@Article{Rnews:Yu:2002,
author = {Hao Yu},
title = {Rmpi: Parallel Statistical Computing in R},
journal = {R News},
year = 2002,
volume = 2,
number = 2,
pages = {10--14},
month = {June},
url = {http://CRAN.R-project.org/doc/Rnews/}
}
@Article{Rnews:Carson+Murison+Mason:2003,
author = {Brett Carson and Robert Murison and Ian A. Mason},
title = {Computational Gains Using {RPVM} on a Beowulf Cluster},

}
hope this helps,
