A new version of the 'snow' package for parallel computing in R is available at http://www.stat.uiowa.edu/~luke/R/cluster/snow_0.3-3.tar.gz This substantially revises the way in which worker processes are started to allow snow to be used on Windows and Mac/Windows/Linux combinations. I have successfully used the SOCK version on a standalone Windows machine and combinations of

Dear R Users, I am attempting to use the snow package for clustering. Is there a way to identfy, in the environment of each node, a rank for that node and also, the total size of the cluster ? By way of analogy, I am looking for the functions in snow equivalent to mpi.comm.rank() and mpi.comm.size() from RMPI, in case that makes things clearer. Thanks in advance, Tolga Generally, this

Hello, I have this kind of dataframe and have to plot it. data <- data.frame(sw= c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,15), zehn = c(33.44,20.67,18.20,18.19,17.89,19.65,20.05,19.87,20.55,22.53,NA,NA,NA), zwanzig = c(61.42,NA,26.60,23.28,NA,24.90,24.47,24.53,26.41,28.26,NA,29.80,35.49), fuenfzig =

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

Dear R-user, I am trying to use the function 'parLapply' from the 'snow' package which is supposed to work the same wys as 'lapply' but for a parallelized cluster of computers. The function I am trying to call in parallel is 'dudi.pca' (from the 'ade4' package) which performs principal component analyses. When I call this function on a list of

Anyone using or has access to ParallelR? I was looking at the page and found nothing really useful! http://www.revolution-computing.com/sitegenius/topic.php?id=195 I want to see if I can run R on a cluster of workstation, and use batch systems like Grid Engine or Xgrid: http://gridengine.sunsource.net/ http://ww.apple.com/acg/xgrid/ --Chi

Hello, which possibilities are available in R for simultaneous or parallel computing? I only could find biopara (http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Descriptions/biopara.html) Are there other possibilities? Are there special groups working on simultaneous computing with R? Thanks Markus -- Dipl.-Tech. Math. Markus Schmidberger Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit?t M?nchen IBE - Institut f?r

When I execute mclapply it creates the needed processes, but these processes never begin computing anything, they just wait indefinitely. I recently upgraded to version 2.9.1, which might have caused the problem. -- Med venlig hilsen Rune Schjellerup Philosof Ph.d.-studerende, Statistik, IST, SDU Telefon: 6550 3607 E-mail: rphilosof at health.sdu.dk Adresse: J.B.

Hi, I had access to an hpc cluster, and wanted to parallelize some of my R code. I looked at the snow,nws, rscalapack documentation but was unable to make out how I should submit my job to the hpc, and how I should code a simple program. For example, if I had 10 matrices, and 10 processor how should I write the R (and the hpc submit code) so that I run the calculations (e.g. rowsums) for each

Hi, This is likely an stupid question, but I cannot find the solution. I am searching for an "exit" function, to end the execution of an R script if some condition is not filled. Any clue? Thank you in advance! Federico

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

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?

Hello, I try to write an extension in C, to get a faster functions. Therefore I have to add an element (vector) to a vector. The command in R is very simple: x = c(x,a) But in C I have the problem to reallocate my vector for getting more space. Everything I tried, I get a "Segmentation fault". So, how can I combine two vectors in C and give the result back to R (return(x))? Thanks

Hello, is there any function in the package snow to check for a really running cluster? The function checkCluster only checks the variable cl. And the variable is still available after stopping the cluster! ( a simple solution would be deleting the cluster variable cl in the function stopCluster) > library(snow) > cl <- makeCluster(5) 5 slaves are spawned successfully. 0

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

Hello, I want to use expresso for preprocessing the hgu133a-spikein data from affycompII. But there is an error: > library(affy) > path <- "z:/Microarray/hgu133a-spikein/rawdata" > celFile <- list.celfiles(path=path,full.names=TRUE); > affyBatch <- ReadAffy(filenames=celFile[1:6]); > eset1 <-

Hello, I built a package, everything was working very well. Now I included a NAMESPACE to export only some variables. (export(f, g, ...) ) Everything is working fine, except one function. There I get an error: Fehler in UseMethod("open") : keine anwendbare Methode f?r "open" In this function I use the function "open" to generate an output bar. * if (verbose) {

Dear Xen users. Have anyone tried to integrate Xen with Torque resource management system? Could you please help me with an advice for a system I''m developing that relies on torque. Let me describe the system first. The part of the system that talks with torque should request a certain amount on nodes of a cluster and launch there a virtual machine instance (one vm instance per host).

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.

Hi, folks, The other admin updated torque without testing it on one machine, and we had Issues. The first I knew was when a user reported qstat returning socket_connect_unix failed: 15137 socket_connect_unix failed: 15137 socket_connect_unix failed: 15137 qstat: cannot connect to server (null) (errno=15137) could not connect to trqauthd Attempting to restart the pbs_server did the same.
