Overview

About

Maintained by Norm MatloffCRAN page ↗

Provides a threads-type programming environment for R. The package gives the R programmer the clearer, more concise shared memory world view, and in some cases gives superior performance as well. In addition, it enables parallel processing on very large, out-of-core matrices.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/Rdsm/Rdsm_2.1.1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "Rdsm_2.1.1.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (2.1.1) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
