Hi
I have managed to install MPICH2 and Rmpi on my Windows 7 machine. I can
also run the following code
> library(Rmpi)
> mpi.spawn.Rslaves()
4 slaves are spawned successfully. 0 failed.
master (rank 0, comm 1) of size 5 is running on: MyMaster
slave1 (rank 1, comm 1) of size 5 is running on: MyMaster
slave2 (rank 2, comm 1) of size 5 is running on: MyMaster
slave3 (rank 3, comm 1) of size 5 is running on: MyMaster
slave4 (rank 4, comm 1) of size 5 is running on: MyMaster
> mpichhosts()
master slave1 slave2 slave3 slave4
"localhost" "localhost" "localhost"
"localhost" "localhost" > mpi.universe.size()
[1] 4> mpi.close.Rslaves()
[1] 1
library(doSNOW)
But every time I try to set up a cluster via
cluster <- makeCluster(4, type = "MPI")
My computer hangs up and I have to close the R session.
Any advice how I get this running?
Thanks in advance
