I am running R on TORQUE/MOAB cluster (I guess---as the documentation is terrific). My problem is that I cannot start a slave node (using 'Rscript') before I load the necessary modules first. Just executing cl <- makePSOCKcluster("n0470") results in error: /sw/r-3.2.0/lib64/R/bin/Rscript: error while loading shared libraries: libiomp5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory However, I can start it with the manual option and thereafter execute [otoomet at n0470 ~]$ module load icc_15.0 [otoomet at n0470 ~]$ '/sw/r-3.2.0/lib64/R/bin/Rscript' -e 'parallel:::.slaveRSOCK()' MASTER=n0470 PORT=11985 TIMEOUT=2592000 METHODS=TRUE XDR=TRUE and voila, it works. Is there a way to execute initialization script on the nodes _before_ Rscript is started? Or is there a better way to make cluster on such systems?
