I am running R 2.7.0 on a Suse 9.1 linux cluster with a job scheduler dispatching jobs and openmpi-1.0.1. I have tried running one of the examples at http://ace.acadiau.ca/math/ACMMaC/Rmpi/examples.html in Rmpi and they seem to be working, except mpi.close.Rslaves() hangs. The slaves are closed, but the master doesn't finish its script. Below is the example script and the call to R. The job is

Hi everybody! I have the next code which makes a reduction of the *a *variable in two slaves, using the Rmpi package. library(Rmpi) mpi.spawn.Rslaves(nslaves=2) reduc<-function(){ a<-mpi.comm.rank()+2 mpi.reduce(a,type=2, op="prod") return(paste("a=",a)) } mpi.bcast.Robj2slave(reduc) mpi.remote.exec(reduc()) cat("Product: ")

Hi, I'm testing the efficiency of the Rmpi package regarding parallelization using a cluster. I've found and tried the task pull programming method, but even if it is described as the best method, it seems to cause deadlock, anyone could help me in using this method? here is the code I've found and tried: # Initialize MPI library("Rmpi") # Notice we just say "give us

Hi I am trying to utilize my dual core processor (and later a High-performance clusters (HPC) ) by using the Rmpi, snow, snowfall, ... packages, but I am struggling at the beginning, i.e. to initialise the "cluster" on my dual core computer. Whenever I try to initialize it (via sfInit(parallel=TRUE, cpus=2) or mpi.spawn.Rslaves(nslaves=2) ), I get an error message: >

R-users, My question is related to earlier posts about benefits of quadcore over dualcore computers; I am trying to setup a cluster of windows xp computers so that eventually I could make use of 10-20 cpu:s, but for learning how to do this, I am playing around with two laptops. I thought that the package snow would come handy in this situation, but to use snow, I would probably need to install

Hello, the package snow is not working on a windows cluster with MPICH2 and Rmpi. There is an error in makeCluster: launch failed: CreateProcess(/usr/bin/env "RPROG="C:\Programme\R\R-2.5.1\bin\R" "OUT=/dev/null" "R_LIBS=" C:/Programme/R/R-2.5.1/library/snow/RMPInode.sh) on 'cl1' failed, error 3 - Das System kann den angegbenen Pfad nicht finden.

Dear R People: I'm having some trouble with mpiexec and Rmpi. I would like to be able to pass in the number of "children" via the mpiexec command (from the command line). this is in SUSE10.1, with R-2.7.1 Here are my files: cat eb.R library(Rmpi) mpi.remote.exec(paste("i am",mpi.comm.rank(),"of",mpi.comm.size())) mpi.quit() hodgesse at

Hello, I try to write parts of my code in C to accelerate the for-loops. But basic operations I want to do in R (e.g. start cluster). My R code looks something like this: library(Rmpi) mpi.spawn.Rslaves() mpi.remote.exec(....) dyn.load("test.so") erg <- .Call("test", ....) .... mpi.close.Rslaves() mpi.quit() And my C function looks something like this: #include

Has anybody tried to use Rmpi with the OpenMPI library instead of LAM/MPI? LAM appears to be somewhat hardcoded in the Rmpi setup. Before I start to experiment with changing this, has anybody else tried Rmpi with non-LAM MPI implementations?

Dear all, I have a large dataset of randomly generated weighed sample for which I wish to compute a kernel density estimate. I have used the "np" package successfully for smaller datasets, however for the larger ones, they take too long when using the cross validation options for bandwidth selection ("cv.ls" or "cv.ml"). Of course, they are much quicker with

Hi all, now I'm testing R in a "virtual cluster", made it with VirtualBox. This one has 3 nodes, running CentOS 5 and OpenMPI 1.2.8, and the principal node (called "server") exports the /home to other nodes. I have installed R and OpenMPI in /home, in fact, it seems work OK. Editing the openmpi-default-hostfile and run "mpirun -np 3 hostname" I can see the

Dear all, I usually run R on my laptop with Windows XP Professional. Now I really want to run R on a computer cluster (4 processors) with Suse Linux Enterprise ver. 10. But I am new with computer cluster. Should I modify my functions in order to use the greater performance and availability than that provided by my laptop? Is there any R manual on parallel computations on

Hi, I am using a cluster with LAM 7.1.3/MPI 2 and R 2.6.0. Rmpi version 0.5-5 is working very well. Now I have tested "Rmpi 0.5-6". During spawning the Rslaves I get an error: MPI_Error_string: error spawning process > sessionInfo() R version 2.6.0 (2007-10-03) x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu locale:

Hello R users and developers, I would like to install Rmpi so that I may take advantage of all of the CPUs in my computer, but I cannot get it to install and I am not very good with linux so it is adding to the headache. I have looked through the help archive, but I have not been successful at getting Rmpi to work. I am not sure if I am even installing openMPI correctly in linux. I would really

Hi All, I'm trying to parallelize some code using Rmpi and I've started with a sample 'hello world' program that's available at http://math.acadiau.ca/ACMMaC/Rmpi/sample.html. The code is as follows; # Load the R MPI package if it is not already loaded. if (!is.loaded("mpi_initialize")) { library("Rmpi") } # Spawn as many slaves as possible

Dear all, I have used the Rmpi package many times before however this time I've installed it as I always do with openMPI tar.gz file direct from the website. I'm installing on my ubuntu 8.10. Linux 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:28:32 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux All i get is: > library(Rmpi) Segmentation fault :~$ Which dumps me back into the shell, and doens't give me much

I have successfully installed ADaCGH package, and trying the example in SegmentPlotWrite did produce alot of pngs and html. I tried again the same example this morning (after a long night of installation), ADaCGH crashes at mpiInit() showing the error: Loading required package: Rmpi ELAN_EXCEPTION @ --: 6 (Initialisation error) elan_init: Can't get capability from environment Aborted I

Dear R Users, I have a relatively simple rmpi question. My configation is: - R version 2.7.2 - rmpi 0.5-6 - Deino MPI 1.1.0 - Windows XP SP2 After succesfully spawning slaves, I am trying to assign values to variables in the environment of each slave and run some simple calcs. This appears to fail, as below: my assignment of value "1" to variable "a" appears to come back

I'm just curious if anyone else has had problems with this configuration. I added the CRAN repository to apt and installed 2.5.0 with apt-get. I then did an install.packages("Rmpi") on cluster nodes. Rmpi loads and lamhosts() shows the nodes, but mpi.spawn.Rslaves() fails (something to do with temp files?). Rmpi works fine with the Edgy-native version of R (2.3.x) and installing
