Hi R users: I am a newbie to parallel computing. I am curious how to run R in Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) for a huge computation-intensive task. I know there are some R packages, e.g. snow and snowfall, to coordinate multi-core and multi-unit. So far, I have only worked out to use all the CPUs in my single computer. I assume that some commercial service are available for such demand and I do not to have work on the details for setting up the computing cloud. Please be kind to share some information.
I will share the information of where to look, which is often the most
important.
There is a separate R-SIG-HPC list and resources. They have had many
discussions on EC2 over there.
Check out the list archives or google 'r-sig-hpc ec2'
