Rsge combined with mclapply?
Dear Dan Bode, first of all I would like to thank you very much for your R-package "Rsge". It looks very helpful, because I need to submit my parallel jobs on the local cluster using SGE. Actually I have a trivially parallel problem which could be sequentially solved by lapply(), and on a single machine with multiple cores by mclapply() from the base R-package "parallel". Because the local cluster has nodes with multiple cores, I would like to combine sge.parLapply (to distribute to nodes) with mclapply (not lapply, to distribute to cores in each node). Before doing some modifications to sge.parParApply like introducing another apply.method for mclapply, I would like to be sure that you have not already programmed a nice solution for this problem. So, did you already have the same problem as I am facing now? Would you think another apply.method for sge.parParApply would be a good way to go? Thank you very much in advance for any hints or suggestions. Best regards Daniel Sabanes
