Announcing snowFT 0.1
Parallel programming with snowFT Our package snowFT is now available at CRAN. It is an extention of the package snow, which adds fault tolerance (in the sense of recomputing computational units when hardware/network failures occur on compute nodes) and a tighter notion of reproducibility for computations running on clusters. It additionally provides tools for flexible management of cluster size as well as computation transparency. snowFT is written by Hana Sevcikova and Tony Rossini. (this tool currently requires rpvm for the SNOW backend, though we are exploring the possibility of extensions for the Rmpi backend. It is unlikely that these extensions will be implemented for the socket backend. best, -tony
