An new package, rpvm 0.2 has been uploaded to ftp://cran.r-project.org/incoming. Here is the DESCRIPTION, Package: rpvm Version: 0.2 Date: $Date: 2001/08/30 21:44:37 $ Title: R interface to PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine) Author: Na (Michael) Li <lina at u.washington.edu> and A. J. Rossini <rossini at u.washington.edu>. Maintainer: Na (Michael) Li <lina at u.washington.edu> Depends: R (>= 1.2.0) Description: Provides interface to PVM APIs, and examples and documentation for its use. License: GPL version 2 or newer URL: http://www.r-project.org/, http://software.biostat.washington.edu/statsoft/snake/ PVM (Parallel Virtual Machine, http://www.epm.ornl.gov/pvm/pvm_home.html or http://www.netlib.org/pvm3/, ) is a de facto standard message passing library for distributed cluster computing. It runs on existing network of heterogeneous computers. RPVM provides interfaces to PVM APIs, and enables parallel statistical computation in an environment already familiar to statisticians. Note that because of its dependence on PVM, R CMD check won't work out of box. However, once pvm is properly set up and running, the examples in demo should work. A technical report describing rpvm is available upon request. Comments are most welcome.
