Distributed computing
The R-help list is probably better for this sort of question. In any case,
the R newsletter is a great source of accumulated (& distilled!) wisdom,
and the following might be relevant.
@Article{Rnews:Li+Rossini:2001,
author = {Michael Na Li and A.J. Rossini},
title = {{RPVM}: Cluster Statistical Computing in {R}},
journal = {R News},
year = 2001,
volume = 1,
number = 3,
pages = {4--7},
month = {September},
url = {http://CRAN.R-project.org/doc/Rnews/}
}
@Article{Rnews:Yu:2002,
author = {Hao Yu},
title = {Rmpi: Parallel Statistical Computing in R},
journal = {R News},
year = 2002,
volume = 2,
number = 2,
pages = {10--14},
month = {June},
url = {http://CRAN.R-project.org/doc/Rnews/}
}
@Article{Rnews:Carson+Murison+Mason:2003,
author = {Brett Carson and Robert Murison and Ian A. Mason},
title = {Computational Gains Using {RPVM} on a Beowulf Cluster},
journal = {R News},

}
hope this helps,

Dear all, does anyone know if there exists an effort to bring some kind of distributed computing to R? The most simple functionality I'm after is to be able to explicitly perform a task on a computing server. Sorry if this is a non-informed newbie question...
