the vignette to the library(parallel) mentions snow repeatedly (esp differences in its implementation in parallel from the original). unfortunately, it doesn't give an example or tutorial for multi-machine use with sockets.
could someone please point me to a simple working example, where a master just has both itself and a 4-core slave on a second machine (IP), and wants to execute an mclapply on a list on both machines, like master.ip <- "localhost" slave.ip <- "Rfriend@192.168.2.10" ## has key ssh access mclapply( 1:100, function(x) { cat(x); Sys.sleep(1); x } ) # on both, please iaw On Wed, Apr 18, 2012 at 1:01 PM, ivo welch <ivo.we...@gmail.com> wrote: > Dear R experts: > > could someone please point me to a page that explains how to set up > more than 1 machine for library parallel (which is quickly becoming my > favorite!) ... ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
