similar to: Connecting to "heterogenous" cluster using makeSOCKcluster of SNOW-package

Thanks to Luke Tiernay and some experimenting I found out some issues. I don't claim this infomation is complete, but it may be helpful for anyone experimenting with SNOW on Linux: - environment variables PATH and R_SNOW_LIB need to be set on master and slaves. (manually or permanent in ~/.bashrc (adjust your pathnames accordingly). Don't use ~ for home directory, instead specify

Hi, I am attempting to implement a mixed (windows/linux) snow sockets parallelism in R, but am running into difficulties similar to a post made Aug 31, 2006 under the same subject heading. I feel like I may be one or two non-obvious steps away from getting it all working, but I'm stuck. If anyone can shed some light on this (I believe Prof. Tierney stated that he has successfully run a

Hi, I am a newbie to R and trying to implement parallelism in R. I am currently using R-2.3.1, and Cygwin to run R on Windows xp. ssh and all are working fine, When I try to create a socket connection as makeSOCKcluster(c("localhost","localhost")), it just waits for the other prcess on localhost to get created and respond. But this other process is

Hello, I was using snow to parallel-process some code in R-2.10 (32-bit windows. ). The code is as follows: require(foreach) require(doSNOW) cl <- makeCluster(6, type='SOCK') registerDoSNOW(cl) bl2 <- foreach(i=icount(length(unqmrno))) %dopar% { (some code here) } stopCluster(cl) When I run the same code in Windows R-2.11 (either 32-bit or 64-bit), R hangs at

The command which hangs: I'm hoping there is a simple explanation, but I searched on-line and nothing jumped out. > cl <- makeCluster(type="SOCK",c("localhost"),manual=TRUE) Manually start worker on localhost with C:/PROGRA~1/R/R-214~1.2/bin/Rscript.exe "C:/Program Files/R/R-2.14.2/library/snow/RSOCKnode.R" MASTER=localhost PORT=11944 OUT=/dev/null

Hi Sayan, Just stumbled upon this email, three months old, since I was having the same problem, and noticed you hadn't been answered. I was able to solve this problem by noting that the "snow" library was not installed on the nodes--it has to be installed everywhere. So, you need to ssh to the "ip to another computer on the network ", then be sure the same version of R

Hi R-users, My question is more methodological one, rather than technical. I have to samples representing residuals based on two measurements techniques (resid1,resid2; n=69). I need to compare two samples, to reject one technique (the worse one), and to keep the one which gave lower residuals (better one). What to look for? What should I analyse? Means, variance, std. deviations? Based on

Hi, While I suspect that this is an issue peculiar to my machine (Debian squeeze amd64, R version 3.0.1, up-to-date packages), I'm hoping that somebody on this list may be able to give me suggestions on how to troubleshoot and fix the following: > library (snow) > cl <- makeSOCKcluster(c("localhost","localhost")) sh: 1: RunSnowWorker: not found I presume/hope

Hello All, I can run the "lower level" functions OK, but many of the higher level (eg. parSApply) functions are generating errors. When running the example (from the snow help docs) for parApply on MacOSX 10.5.5, I get the following error: cl <- makeSOCKcluster(c("localhost","localhost")) sum(parApply(cl, matrix(1:100,10), 1, sum)) Error in

Hello all; I'm trying to execute parallel jobs trough library snow on a cluster built through torque/PSB. I'm succesfully obtaining the cluster with: >system("cat $PBS_NODEFILE > cluster.txt") >mycluster <- scan(file="cluster.txt",what="character") >cl <- makeSOCKcluster(mycluster) The only problem, at the moment, is that if I use

I'm working with snow and created a local cluster. So far, the same code has always worked (please see below). However, now I receive a message that the connection with the nodes cannot be opened. I restarted my workstation but that didn't help. Is there a known solution for this problem? Thanks a lot for any help. bram foubert library(snow) cl =

Dear "R-help"ers, using snow on socket connections, I ran into the following error > cl <- makeSOCKcluster(hosts) Error in socketConnection(port = port, server = TRUE, blocking = TRUE : all connections are in use with "showConnections(all=T)" showing 50 open connections. As - for administrative reasons - I would prefer to use snow's SOCK capabilities (instead

Hi I try parallelising some code using the snow package and the following lines: cl <- makeSOCKcluster(8) pfunc <- function (x) (if(x <= (-th)) 1 else 0) ###correlation coefficient clusterExport(cl,c("pfunc","th")) cor.c.f <- parApply(cl,tms,c(1,2),FUN=pfunc) The parApply results in the error message: > cor.c.f <- parApply(cl,tms,c(1,2),FUN=pfunc) Error

Dear list, i have some problems using the snow package to create a SOCK cluster. The errors just occour irregularly but it seems to me that they occour when I try to create more than one cluster on the same machine via different R instances started via submitting LSF jobs to a cluster. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this or where to start digging for solutions? The error messages

Hi R-users, I am using "postscript("xx.eps", horizontal=FALSE, onefile=FALSE, height=6, width=10, pointsize=10)" and "barplot(xx.dat)" in R to produce EPS graphics for LATeX document. When checking the graphics with "gv" I see that it was not produced with full details. The main graphic is there, but axes labels and titles are missing. While checking the

Hello R-users, Is there any more sophisticated way how to identify the dataset outliers other then seeing them in boxplot? I wanna exclude them from further analysis and I am interested in their position in my vector data. Rado -- Radoslav Bonk M.S.

Hi, Does anybody know suitable documents (manuals) on writing user functions (covering loops, conditions ...) in R? Other than the usually available manuals. Thanks, Rado -- Radoslav Bonk M.S.

Dear R community, as stated in Breiman et.al. (1984) and De'Ath & Fabricius (2000) using sums of absolute deviations about the median as an impurity measure gives robust trees. I would like to use this method in rpart. Has somebody already tried this method in rpart? Is there maybe already a script available somewhere? I am aware of the possibility to define usersplits myself with

Hi, I'm new to "R". I have a matrix of 6x12. I need to produce matrix of 12x6, such that rows in new matrix are columns from original matrix, and columns in a new matrix are rows from the original one. I was playing with rbind(), and cbind() with no success. Regards, -Rado -- Radoslav Bonk M.S. Dept. of Physical Geography and Geoecology Faculty of Natural Sciences, Comenius
