ls() looks in its calling environment, which in this case would be the
internals of the snow mechnism.  If you want ls of the global
environment use one of

 clusterEvalQ(cl, ls())
 clusterCall(cl, ls, .GlobalEnv)

No -- that isn't the way snow works.  With snow the partitioning is
done on the master. If you need a node to know how many other nodes
there are or which index it represents in a clusterApply call then you
need to pass that information in the arguments.

Hi Tolga,

in SNOW you have to start a cluster with the command

> library(snow)
> cluster <- makeCluster(#nodes)

The object "cluster" is a list with an object for each node and each
object again is a list with all informations (rank, comm, tags)
The size of the cluster is the length of the list.

E.g. the rank for node one you can get by

Hi Markus,

Many thanks. Is the "cluster" variable you mention below available in the 
environment of the nodes ? Specifically, within that environment, how 
could one identify the rank of that specific node ?

My code would use that information to partition the problem.

Thanks,
Tolga

Re: [R] cluster/snow question






Hi Tolga,

in SNOW you have to start a cluster with the command

 > library(snow)
 > cluster <- makeCluster(#nodes)

The object "cluster" is a list with an object for each node and each 
object again is a list with all informations (rank, comm, tags)
The size of the cluster is the length of the list.

 > #nodes == length(cluster)

E.g. the rank for node one you can get by
 > cluster[[1]]$rank

Dear R Users,

I am attempting to use the snow package for clustering. Is there a way to

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,
