Hi All, I have looked through the following thread:
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/02b/4551.html and would like to ask after 1.5 year the same question: Are there any plans to involve multithread computations in R? Few word about my motivation: I use R on my OpenSSI cluster with 7 CPUs, so one could simply think of this cluster as of single computer with 7 CPU. My own C++ maths run good in parallel on the cluster. What is even better for me: my C++ code has *no* any statements about parallelization. All parallezation is done at command line. When I start a new piece of calculation from command line, the process is migrated to a free cluster node automatically, it migrates even during the calculation. The whole project is calculated nearly up to 7 time quicker then on a single CPU. Thus, I do see the boost clearly. However the same approach applied to R will force me to use batch mode instead of nice interactive mode. Now I am writing this mail and R is still busy with stats in usual interactive mode. Other 6 processors are idling unfortunately. It would be really nice to change this situation. my best regards, Valery. ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
