Sorry for posing the question to the wrong list. Apart from the public replies I also got tips on the packages snow and rmpi (http://www.stats.uwo.ca/faculty/yu/Rmpi/).

Thanks for the pieces of advice.

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.

Dear all,

does anyone know if there exists an effort to bring some kind of distributed computing to R? The most simple functionality I'm after is to be able to explicitly perform a task on a computing server. Sorry if this is a non-informed newbie question...
