R is memory intensive. It's not multithreaded, so you typically don't need the cores. We've got a system with 16 cores and 64G of RAM, and R jobs will routinely eat up all 64G of memory, and leave 15 CPUs sitting idle, at least on the Linux side of things. Whatever you get should have some space for memory expansion, even if you start it out small. -Mike -- Michael Steeves ([email protected]) Key fingerprint = 5DF4 CA31 1C6E 0C2E 60EA 704C 31A9 0B28 3AF0 2699 _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
