I have a network of four machines set up. I'm having trouble spawning my slaves on these machines.
All the examples I have found so far use makeCluster with type="MPI", and I guess I'm missing some kind of cluster configuration in my environment variables because all my clusters are formed on the machine where my initial session is running. Can anyone refer me to a link that illustrates how to set up the environment for MPI (listing node names, number of slots, etc) that will allow the makeCluster command take advantage of the other nodes? Thanks, Whit simple example: library(Rmpi) library(snow) cl <- makeCluster(2, type = "MPI") ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
