Re: [R] question about R on Linux Cluster

2004-10-29 Thread Roger D. Peng
As far as I know, there are R interfaces to MPI and PVM.  There are 
also the `snow' and `snowFT' packages on CRAN.

Re: [R] question about R on Linux Cluster

I've used an openMosix cluster to load balance simultaneously running
R scripts.  For the most part this has worked as expected, but
sometimes the R processes don't migrate.

Recently, I converted one of my analyses to utilize the SNOW package
(using PVM on top of openMosix).  I've been quite pleased with the
results and plan to use SNOW for other projects in the future.

We use R on a Linux/openMosix cluster and it works very well.
