Hi I have managed to install MPICH2 and Rmpi on my Windows 7 machine. I can also run the following code
library(Rmpi) mpi.spawn.Rslaves()
4 slaves are spawned successfully. 0 failed. master (rank 0, comm 1) of size 5 is running on: MyMaster slave1 (rank 1, comm 1) of size 5 is running on: MyMaster slave2 (rank 2, comm 1) of size 5 is running on: MyMaster slave3 (rank 3, comm 1) of size 5 is running on: MyMaster slave4 (rank 4, comm 1) of size 5 is running on: MyMaster
mpichhosts()
master slave1 slave2 slave3 slave4 "localhost" "localhost" "localhost" "localhost" "localhost"
mpi.universe.size()
[1] 4
mpi.close.Rslaves()
[1] 1 library(doSNOW) But every time I try to set up a cluster via cluster <- makeCluster(4, type = "MPI") My computer hangs up and I have to close the R session. Any advice how I get this running? Thanks in advance
