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

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, 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:

Hi everybody!

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

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

Hello, I'm using R on a 10 blade dual quad core Rocks Cluster, and trying to use Rpmi and snow. I basically wondered if at the moment I ought to install Rmpi against another form of mpi (not openmpi) and wondered whether anyone could pass on any experience. I'm mainly worried about (a) the R server taking up 100% cpu time (I think this is a known issue with Rmpi and openmpi) and (b)

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?

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

According to ?parCapply: parRapply and parCapply always return a vector. This appears not to be the case in the following minimal reproducible example: > library(parallel) > nslaves <- 2 > cl <- makeCluster(nslaves) > X <- matrix(2,nrow=3,ncol=4) > X <- rbind(c(1,1,0,1),X) > tv <- parCapply(cl,X,FUN=function(x){ +

I'm invoking R from withing a shell script like this R --no-save --no-restore --gui=none > `hostname` 2>&1 <<BYE # various commands here BYE I would like to regain control from the invoking terminal at some point. I tried source(stdin()) but got a syntax error, presumably stdin is the little shell here snippet (the part between <<BYE and BYE). Is there some way to

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 ...

I have just installed Rmpi on a Suse 9.1 linux cluster with openmpi-1.0.1. I am trying the example included below from the tutorial website. However, I keep getting the following error: > # 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 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

Dear all, I am trying to execute the simple example in snowfall http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/snowfall/vignettes/snowfall.pdf ... require(snow) require(snowfall) sfInit( parallel=TRUE, cpus=2 ) sfLapply( 1:10, exp ) sfStop() I have installed the snow and snowfall packages in R on a machine with windows xp, however, after running the "sfInit( parallel=TRUE, cpus=2 )" line I

Dear R list, In the course of learning to work with Rmpi, we are confused about a few points. The following simple program is based on some examples we retrieved from the web. Each slave is writing the same output line multiple times (a multiple equal to the number of slaves). In other words, the write statements are being executed a number of times equal to the number of slaves. I am

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, I don't know if the question pertains to Rmpi, snow or snowfall. I run my job by: mpirun -np N -hostfile $PBS_NODEFILE RMPISNOW -f my-script.r --slave In the snowfall sfInit call I have to specify one less CPU respect to the mpirun call sfInit(parallel=TRUE, cpus=N-1, type="MPI") otherwise I receive an error similar to: "cluster size N-1 already
