In case you want it ready-to-run, Rmpi, SNOW, Rsprng, ... work out of the box under Quantian, which would give you openMosix to boot which can make scheduling MPI/PVM easier. For more about Quantian, see the pages at http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian All three are also part of Debian so you could add them (pre-built, no less) to a regular Debian system, and possibly a derived system such as Ubuntu. Sprng was a bit tricky to build, the others are pretty standard. I talked about it a little at Usenix last year and intend to revisit this for DSC 2005 in a couple of days. Hope this helps, Dirk ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
