Oh I was wrong. R package 'GridR' seems to be what one needs to run R scripts on Condor directly ... interesting. thanks again. - http://censix.com -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/using-multiple-cpu-s-scaling-in-processing-power-tp4634405p4634442.html Sent from

Thanks Drew a first glance at Condor tells me that this will very likely do what I need in terms of flexible allocation of (cpu) resources. Unfortunately there is not much R integration so I will need to see if setting up Condor and submitting R jobs to it is worth the effort. Cheers Soren

Hi Soren Have you looked into using the condor scheduler (http://research.cs.wisc.edu/condor/)? I'm not aware of it linking up with multicore or other parallel processing code inside R, but I've used it to run multiple R processes on a variable number of processors where N can both increase and de

Hi All In the past I have worked with parallel processing in R where a function F is applied to the elements of a list L. The more cpu cores one has, the faster the process will run. At the time of launching the process for (F,L) I will have a certain fixed number of cpu's that I can use. I have t
