Hi Everybody, I know that R has snow package which can be used for Parallel Computing. However, every time I try making a cluster, the only type of cluster I'm able to make is the "SOCK" (that too because I disabled the firewalls). For the rest (i.e. MPI, NWS, and PVM), I get error every time I try making one. I get the following errors ================================================> cl = makeCluster(c("localhost", "localhost"), Type="MPI") Error in make.socket(serverHost, port) : socket not established> cl = makeCluster(c("localhost", "localhost"), Type="PVM")Error in make.socket(serverHost, port) : socket not established> cl = makeCluster(c("localhost", "localhost"), Type="NWS")Error in make.socket(serverHost, port) : socket not established ================================================= On top of that, I couldn't find the MPI/NWS/PVM libraries for windows. I've looked for them all over the internet but I can't seem to find any resources for it. I even tried installing them directly from R, (i.e. install.packages(rmpi) or install.packages(mpi)), they don't seem to exist in the repository any longer. Can anyone please help me with this. Also, where can I find them and how do I install the PVM, MPI, and NWS packages? Any help would be greatly appreciated .

According to the listing of Rmpi on CRAN would indicate that there is none, only the tar.gz file. This is very OS specific sort of stuff. best Patrick |> |> Can anyone please help me with this.
