In case you just need a R server, with no IDE (like Rstudio provides it), please have a look at this project[0] [0]http://www.obiba.org/?q=node/63 > > > John David Sorkin M.D., Ph.D. > Professor of Medicine > Chief, Biostatistics and Informatics > University of Maryland School of Medicine Division of Gerontology and > Geriatric Medicine > Baltimore VA Medical Center > 10 North Greene Street > GRECC (BT/18/GR) > Baltimore, MD 21201-1524 > (Phone) 410-605-7119 > (Fax) 410-605-7913 (Please call phone number above prior to faxing) >>>> Jeff Newmiller <jdnew...@dcn.davis.ca.us> 04/14/15 2:54 PM >>> > You should investigate using the parallel package.
