similar to: Problem with package SNOW on MacOS X 10.5.5

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

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

I'm using /parApply/() function in "snow" package for parallel computing (boostrapping repeating calculation), as the follows: MyBoostrapping <- function( i ){ ..... } cl <- makeCluster( ncluster, type = "SOCK") i.circle <- as.matrix( 1:128, , 1) parApply( cl, i.circle, 1, FUN = MyBoostrapping) It works. However, I want to set more than one arguments to

I've started to use the parallel package and it works very well speeding things up. Thank you for making this easy to do. Should I have expected that parCapply would return a vector when parApply returns a matrix? library(parallel) x <- matrix(rnorm(8), nc = 2) apply(x, 2, function(y) y) [,1] [,2] [1,] -0.9649685 0.91339851 [2,] -1.4313140 0.13457671 [3,] 1.0499248

Greetings, I am trying to use Reference Class methods in Snowfall, using R 2.12.1 on Ubuntu Natty. Using then directly seems to work (stanza 2 below), but using them indirectly does not (stanza 3 below). I get an "attempt to apply non-function" error. In addition to exporting the instance of the object I created to the Snowfall slaves, I also made several attempts to export the

I've been using parApply() in snow package for parallel computing with the following lines in R 2.8.1: library(snow) nNodes <- 4 cl <- makeCluster(nNodes, type = "SOCK") fm <- parApply(cl, myData, c(1,2), func1, ...) Since I have a Mac OS X (version 10.4.11) with two dual-core processors, I thought that I could run 4 simultaneous clusters. However with the 1st job

Hello all, I don't know if it is possible, but I would like to use do.call in C code in my package. The function do.call is defined as > do.call function (what, args, quote = FALSE, envir = parent.frame()) { if (!is.list(args)) stop("second argument must be a list") if (quote) { enquote <- function(x) as.call(list(as.name("quote"),

Hello all, I'm trying to run lda() from the MASS library but the Help example generates the following error: #Code from example in lda Help file # Resulting Error >Error in if (targetlist[i] == stringname) { : argument is of length zero My Current R Installation: MacOSX: 10.5.8 R: 2.10.0 -- Gregory Riddick, PhD.

Hi, Here are the issues I found: Typos ----- (a) Found: It a parallel version of ?evalq?, "is" missing. (b) Found: 'parLapplyLB', 'parSapplyLB' are load-balancing versions, intended for use when applying ?FUN? to 'parLapplyLB' has no 'FUN' arg (more on this below). (c) Found: 'clusterApply' calls 'fun' on the first

I am looking for a function to flatten a list to a list of only 1 level deep. Very similar to unlist, however I don't want to turn it into a vector because then everything will be casted to character vectors: x <- list(name="Jeroen", age=27, married=FALSE, home=list(country="Netherlands", city="Utrecht")) unlist(x) This function sort of does it: flatlist

Dear all, I just wrote a script to have each of my three mcmc chins running on a different computer core to improve computation speed. To do it I use the function sfLapply from the package snowfall. Before using parallell computation, I did my diagnostic analyses just after the model updating, but now I have to save the coda before. Using the CODA package, it is possible to load the outputs in a

Dear all, I am trying to execute the simple example in snowfall http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/snowfall/vignettes/snowfall.pdf ... require(snow) require(snowfall) sfInit( parallel=TRUE, cpus=2 ) sfLapply( 1:10, exp ) sfStop() I have installed the snow and snowfall packages in R on a machine with windows xp, however, after running the "sfInit( parallel=TRUE, cpus=2 )" line I

  Hi,   The code below does exactly what I want in sequential mode. But, it is slow and I want to run it in parallel mode. I examined some windows version packages (parallel, snow, snowfall,..) but could not solve my specific problem. As far as I understood, either I have to write a new function like sfRollapplyr or I have to change my code in a way that it utilizes lapply, or sapply instead of

Hello everybody, I've got a bit of a problem with parLapply that's left me scratching my head today. I've tried this in R 2.11 and the 23 bit Revolution R Enterprise and gotten the same result, OS in question is Windows XP, the package involved is the snow package. I've got a list of 20 rain/no rain (1/0) situations for these two stations i and j, all the items in this list look

Hi, does anybody know of some plotting function or an easy way to generate "+" symbols with individually settable bar lengths? I tried just combining "|" and "-" as pch and setting the size via cex, but that doesn't really work since the two symbols have different default lengths. Is there a horizontal | or a longer "-" available? Thanks, Rainer

Dear all, I am confused about how to create an expression. I use a package (rsbml) which uses expressions and seems to make a difference if there is a quote around the expression or not. For example, package works with expressions such as > expression(A + B) but not with > expression("A + B") I now have a set of math expressions represented as strings, something like this: >

invoking parLapply without a cluster fails to find a previously registered cluster > library(parallel) > setDefaultCluster(makePSOCKcluster(2)) > parLapply(X=1:2, fun=function(...) {}) Error in cut.default(i, breaks) : invalid number of intervals This is because in parLapply length(cl) is determined before defaultCluster(cl) is called. By inspection, this appears to be true of

In principle, I'd like to be able to do something like this: sge.parLapply(seq(10), function(x) parLapply(seq(x), function(x) x^2)) In practice, however, I have to resort to acrobatics like this: sge.options(sge.remove.files=FALSE) sge.options(sge.qsub.options='-cwd -V') sge.parLapply(seq(10), function(x) { sge.options(sge.save.global=TRUE)
