Guys, I'm running R on both Windows & Linux. I'm looking at a number of packages for parallel execution. It seems that the most used packages are "snow" and "Rmpi".
snow seems more user friendly, but it doesn't run on windows. I see from searching the mailing list that I'm not the first one to try it on Windows. There was a message that kind of shed some hope on the subject, but nothing else. Rmpi works well on windows (with DeinoMPI) but it's kind of low level, so before I embark in writing code similar to snow to have some high level constructs I though I'd ask here about other peoples experiences... Is anyone around here doing parallel R on Windows? If so could you share your experience?
