Overview

About

Maintained by Barnet WagmanCRAN page ↗Website ↗

cloudRmpi is means for doing parallel processing in R, using MPI on a cloud-based network. It currently supports the use of Amazon's EC2 cloud computer service. cloudRmpi provides a mechanism to launch and manage a cloud-based network and to access an R session on the network's master MPI node (using the rreval package). cloudRmpi should work with any MPI based R package (it has been tested with Rmpi, npRmpi, and snow).

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/cloudRmpi/cloudRmpi_1.2.1.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "cloudRmpi_1.2.1.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 (1.2.1) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
