Running R under Sun Grid Engine with OpenMPI tight integration
Did you make any progress in using R in the SGE / OpenMPI environment? I am asking, because I am struggling with the same problem. Using qsub does not give me an interactive session which I can use (wherefore I don't see a way of using RMPISNOW and getMPIcluster()) and the spawning (makeMPIcluster()) when R is running only yields slave processes on the node on which the master is running. I have the feeling, that I am missing something really basic - but what is it... Rainer

We have spent some time setting up Sun Grid Engine and OpenMPI on a group of linux boxes. I have created a parallel environment and everything seems to be working. I have Rmpi 0.5.5-5 installed on all machines. I would like to start an interactive R session using, say, 8 processors and then start the Rmpi cluster. I haven't been able to find what needs to be done in order to accomplish this task. Is anyone using R in such an environment that can point me in the right direction? Thanks, Sean
