similar to: Clean up Rmpi when there is a bug in the code

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

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

Hello, We have R working with Rmpi/openmpi, but I'm a little worried. Specifically, (a) the -np flag doesn't seem to override the hostfile (it works fine with fortran hello world) and (b) I appear to have twice as many processes running as I think I should. Rmpi version 0.5.5 Openmpi version 1.1 Viglen HPC with (effectively) 9 blades and 8 nodes on each blade. myhosts file contains

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

Dear all, I installed Rmpi (without error messages), but when I try to load the library in R I get the following error message: > library(Rmpi) Error in dyn.load(file, ...) : unable to load shared library '/Users/ebruch/Library/R/2.6/library/ Rmpi/libs/i386/Rmpi.so': dlopen(/Users/ebruch/Library/R/2.6/library/Rmpi/libs/i386/Rmpi.so, 6): Library not loaded:

Hi guys, I'm trying to install Rmpi on the slave nodes of my cluster. The installation seems to work with no errors or warnings using this command: R CMD INSTALL --configure-args="--with-Rmpi-include=/usr/lib64/openmpi/1.3.2-gcc/include --with-Rmpi-libpath=/usr/lib64/openmpi/1.3.2-gcc/lib --with-Rmpi-type=OPENMPI" Rmpi_0.5-8.tar.gz But when I attempt to load Rmpi I get the

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

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, 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

Dear R People: I am trying to put Rmpi with R-2.6.0 on an Ubuntu operating system. When I do the installation, all is well. But when I go into R and fire up the library, this is what I get: > library(Rmpi) Error in dyn.load(file, ...) : unable to load shared library '/home/cms/Desktop/R-2.6.0/library/Rmpi/libs/Rmpi.so': /home/cms/Desktop/R-2.6.0/library/Rmpi/libs/Rmpi.so:

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 ...

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

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

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. Thanks, Sincerely, Erin mailto: hodgess at gator.uhd.edu /home/faculty/hodgess/R-2.6.0/bin [hodgess at gator bin]$ ./R CMD INSTALL Rmpi_0.5-4.tar.gz

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

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:
