Public R servers?
3 messages · Aaron Barzilai, Tobias Verbeke, Hadley Wickham
Hi Aaron,
Earlier I posted a question about memory usage, and the community's input was very helpful. However, I'm now extending my dataset (which I use when running a regression using lm). As a result, I am continuing to run into problems with memory usage, and I believe I need to shift to implementing the analysis on a different system.. I know that R supports R servers through Rserve. Are there any public servers where I could upload my datasets (either as a text file, or through a connection to a SQL server), execute the analysis, then download the results? I identifed Wessa.net (http://www.wessa.net/mrc.wasp?outtype=Browser%20Blue%20-%20Charts%20White), but it's not clear it will meet my needs. Can anyone suggest any other resources?
Karim Chine made available Amazon EC2 images with R and biocep that can be run on the Amazon servers on a pay per hour basis. The only requirement is to have an Amazon EC2 account. There is some explanation on http://biocep-distrib.r-forge.r-project.org/doc.html under the heading "Biocep-R on Amazon's Cloud" HTH, Tobias

Have you looked at the biglm package? Hadley
