I see about 7 different R packages for multi-process parallel programming. Which do you think is the best, most complete, and most robust to pick for general purpose Erlang-style message-passing programming in R, and why? First here's my use case, and then my analysis so far. I often have code whose basic organization looks something like this: 1. Fetch step: For each date, gather up or

On Linux x86-64 (Ubuntu 6.06), the latest R sources from the Subversion trunk fail to build with the following "recompile with -fPIC" error: $ ./configure --with-x=yes --prefix=$inst_dir --enable-R-shlib --with-tcltk=/usr/lib/tcl8.4 --with-tcl-config=/usr/lib/tcl8.4/tclConfig.sh $ make /usr/bin/ld: ../appl/approx.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be

Rprof seems to ignore all time spent inside system() calls. E.g., this simple example actually takes about 10 seconds, but Rprof thinks the total time is only 0.12 seconds: > Rprof("sleep-system.out") ; system.time(system(command="sleep 10")) ; Rprof(NULL) user system elapsed 0.000 0.004 10.015 > summaryRprof("sleep-system.out")$by.total

Hi, everybody. I hope the new year is treating you well. In a Rocks Cluster Linux system (that's Centos 5.2 based), I have built R-2.10 and it runs well. While fiddling with MPI libraries and R packages, I've noticed a few little wrinkles. This comes as no surprise to the veteran R programmers, but let me share to the new guys the following gem: There is a difference between . and -

Hello, We have recently added a 64-bit 2 x Dual-Core Athlon server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 to allow for processing of large data sets (>4GB) in R. To integrate this server into our Linux cluster, I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to use Rmpi/lam-mpi to parallel process some of our scripts. While I have successfully compiled R 2.4.0 and lam-mpi 7.1.2 on this server using

--rwEMma7ioTxnRzrJ Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline R, like recent versions of S-Plus, sometimes - but not always - loses names when subscripting objects with "[". (Earlier versions of S and S-Plus had the correct, name-preserving behavior.) This seems bad, it would be better to remove names only by explicit request, not as an accidental

I try to install Rmpi as root with install.packages("Rmpi").

I am running into the following issue that has been previously reported on the R-devel mailing list. The short version is that I'm writing a package for MPI, and I'd like to change CC and SHLIB_LD to "mpicc". Trying to change them in Makevars.in has no effect, because the values are clobbered by /etc/R/Makeconf. Will the following changes to Makeconf.in introduce any problems?

This is a rather obscure question, I realize. I have written to the package author but have not heard back as of yet. I have read the README in the package, as well, but it didn't give me enough detail to diagnose the problems that I am having. (I did edit out the LAM-MPI check in zzz.R.in.) I am working to install Rmpi on top of MPICH on a beowulf cluster. Below is the output of the

Dear R People: I'm trying to install Rmpi (latest version) on Ubuntu.

Dear R yet again! I finally got the Rmpi package to install! Yay!. However, when I go into R to use it, there is an error with the dyn.load file. This should be simple (allegedly). Please help.

For many years, when my R process starts up I've been automatically setting my preferred default plot colors, basically like so: my.colors <- c("black" ,"red" ,"gold" ,"sky blue" ,"green" ,"blue" ,"orange" ,"grey" ,"hot pink" ,"brown" ,"sea green" ,"cyan"

Hi guys, I've spent a few days trying to install Rmpi with no luck. I originally tried using mpich, moved on to mpich2, and then to openmpi. I've gotten the furthest with openmpi, though am still running into this problem and can't figure it out. Can someone help!? Thanks so much in advanced. I'm using an HP Envy laptop with Ubuntu 12.04. Output is below, with the error at the

I want to create my own "[" function (for use on vectors, matrices, arrays, etc.), which calls the stock R "[", does some additional work, and then finally returns the modified result. But, how do I properly call the stock R "[" function? It takes a varying number of positional arguments, and its R-level closure is just: .Primitive("[") It's

For using R's .Call interface to C functions, all the examples I've seen have the C function return type SEXP. Why? What does R actually do with this return type? What happens if I *don't* return a SEXP? Reason I ask, is I've written some R code which allocates two long lists, and then calls a C function with .Call. My C code writes to those two pre-allocated lists, thus, I

Hi, I was trying to install the package Rmpi on a hpc cluster running SGE. The command, and the sessionInfo() is as follows: =========================================== > install.packages("Rmpi",dependencies=TRUE) also installing the dependency ‘rsprng’ trying URL ' http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/languages/R/CRAN/src/contrib/rsprng_1.0.tar.gz' Content type

One of the great things about R is how readable and re-usable much of its own implementation is. If an R function doesn't do quite what you want but is close, it is usually very easy to read its code and start adapting that as the base for a modified version. In the 2.x versions of R, that was the case with read.table(). It was easy to experiment with its source code, as it all worked just
