Hi Moreno -- snow provides an easy interface to simple parallel types of calculations (e.g., lapply in parallel). I quickly wanted to have more direct control over how parallel computations were calculated, and have been using Rmpi. Though in principle snow and Rmpi are 'easy' to use, I found that

Hi Scott -- It took me a bit to figure it out, but the help page for system made it seem like system should return the exit status, rather than the command result, if system is invoked without specifying intern = TRUE. So why does system("hostname") actually print the host name? it's a side-effect

Hello, I am trying to do model autocalibration using the snow and rgenoud packages. The function I want to run in task-parallel fashion across multiple machines is one that pre- and post-processes data and runs an external model code. My problem is that external file I/O is happening only in t

I am trying to use the optimizing function genoud() with the snow package on a couple of i686 machines running Redhat Linux WS4 . I don't know anything about PVM or MPI, so I just followed the directions in snow and rgenoud for the simplest method and started a socket cluster. My function fn for
