[R] Parallel processes

2007-05-22 Thread hodgess

Dear R People:
  
 I was wondering if there were any packages for parallel programming in R.
  
 According to the R-help, at one time there was a package called SNOW.  It 
doesn't seem
 to exist anymore.
  
 Any help would be much appreciated!
  
 Sincerely,
 Erin Hodgess

snow still exists, and there is one more package snowFT on CRAN (FT stands
for Fault Tolerant)
Probably, you didn't find it because of typing its name in capitals.

Erin,

There is a snow package (note the case) and also a few others.

Rlsf, is specific to grids/clusters that use the LSF queue system. 

More generally, the nws package is more sophisticated and should work on
most systems. Also, there is Rmpi (which I haven't used).

There are R interfaces to MPI and PVM on CRAN, which are Rmpi and RPVM,
respectively.

You can find a decent tutorial on using RMPI here:
