Running R on dual/quad Opteron machines

Ok thanks, I am wondering whether running multiple instances of R
would be possible without problems in presence of compiled code
(shared libraries).
Intuitively, while there can be multiple instances of R, all of them
would be using the same library, but I am just guessing, I might do a
check on this.

Ciao

And let me couch my earlier statements on snow/Rmpi by saying that we use
these tools on a relatively large beowulf cluster (~200 nodes), which is
somewhat different than a single box with 2-4 processors, so it is may not
be worth the trouble outside of a cluster environment.  For example, we have
not moved to using Rmpi/snow on our dual-processor G5s because the speed
gain just isn't worth the extra installation trouble, etc.
