Dear R Gurus: Is there a problem with Rmpi on x86 with SUSE 10.1, please? I've tried everything and it still won't load. Has anyone else dealt with this please? Thanks, Edna Bell

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

Dear R-users, I am trying to make Snow and Rmpi working on an heterogenous cluster of linux computers. The master computer is built on a 64 bit architecture whereas all nodes are built on a 32 bit architecture. LAM/MPI was installed successfully on all machine. LAM boots correctly on the master computer and it recognizes all nodes defined in the lamhosts file. However, when starting R,

Hi, I need to understand when is it best to use /rmpi/ and when is it best to use /snow/ for parallel programming in R? I understand snow can be used for a group of non-clustered work stations also. But I wish to understand from the point of view of using both on clusters for a problem which has few chunks of straightforward data-parallelism interleaved with some communication. Since both are

Dear R People: I am having some trouble with the snow package. It requires MPICH2 and Rmpi. Rmpi is fine. However, I downloaded the MPICH2 package, and installed. There is no mpicc, mpirun, etc. Does anyone have any suggestions, please? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm testing affyPara on Debian lenny with R 2.7 from unstable, and the corresponding bioconductor packages from bioconductor.org downloaded using biocLite as per usual. The command cl = makeMPIcluster(k) succeeds, but spawns k R slaves which promptly soak up all available CPU, which is odd since they are not doing anything yet. This looks like a bug to me. Similar behaviour is shown

I have a network of four machines set up. I'm having trouble spawning my slaves on these machines. All the examples I have found so far use makeCluster with type="MPI", and I guess I'm missing some kind of cluster configuration in my environment variables because all my clusters are formed on the machine where my initial session is running. Can anyone refer me to a link that

After several trial and error attempts, I managed to install the Rmpi package without error on my Linux machine, running Fedora 5. I installed lam-7.1.2, lam-devel-7.1.2 and R-2.4.1, R-devel-2.4.1 The Package Rmpi_5.0-3.tar.gz, I installed once from within R and once from the command line to make sure, I link the right libraries: R CMD INSTALL Rmpi_5.0-3.tar.gz

Hello, I've installed R on my RHEL3 cluster and I am trying to get Rmpi to work properly. R is installed using the following ./configure --prefix=/home/apps/R-2.2.0 I installed snow using R CMD INSTALL /home/apps/snow And finaly Rmpi R CMD INSTALL /home/apps/Rmpi --configure-args=--with-mpi=/path/to/lam There were no errors or warnings upon installation. However when i perform the test

I am running R 2.14.1 on a Windows XP (32 bit) system, and am trying to install the package 'Rmpi' to allow me to parallel process on all cores of a quad-core PC (and if that works well, I want to add extra slaves from a dual-core laptop). Rmpi appears to install OK (see below), but I am encountering the following error when I try and load the package: > utils:::menuInstallLocal()

Hello everybody, I am trying to install Rmpi on 64-bit HP-Proliant server. I am facing the following error: * Installing *source* package 'Rmpi' ... Try to find mpi.h ...

Hello everyone, I've been fiddling around with the snow and Rmpi packages on my new Intel Mac, and have run into a few problems. When I make a cluster on my machine, both slaves start up just fine, and everything works as expected. When I try to make a cluster including another networked machine it hangs. I've followed the suggestions at

Hi Folks, I've recently transitioned to Debian 8.0 and was having a hard time getting Rmpi to work. I believed I'd successfully installed dependencies via > sudo apt-get install r-cran-rmpi > apt-show-versions r-cran-rmpi r-cran-rmpi:amd64/jessie 0.6-5-1 uptodate but when installing the package I was still getting checking mpi.h presence... no checking for mpi.h... no

Hello R-help! I am a systems administrator for the University of Southern California. I take care of it's general-purpose research cluster, and have recently been asked to provide access to a parallelized R platform. I do not have any previous experience using R, and have only ever had to do anything more then 'yum -y install R'. We have a myrinet MPI network, and use mpich1 as our

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

I am trying to build Rmpi on Suse 10.2 linux. While I would like to use the RPM version of liblam-7.1.2, I have not been able to do so. It seems that Rmpi makes some pretty strong assumptions when trying to guess the MPI version. Has anyone successfully built Rmpi against lam-7.1.2 recently using R-2.6.0? If so, can you give some pointers about where the libraries and header files need to be

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
