This has been discussed on this list several times.  R has a
hard-coded limit of 128 total simultaneous open socket connections.
You could try rebuilding R after increasing NCONNECTIONS in
src/main/connections.c.

Best,

Sure! I'm running 382 hyperthreaded CPUs on an MPI cluster with no
problem as I'm typing now. I just use the following lines:

     cpus <- 382                # Number of CPUs to cluster together
     sfSetMaxCPUs(cpus)            # Use when plan more than 32 CPUs
     sfInit(parallel=T, cpus=cpus, slaveOutfile="initfile", type="MPI")
# Initialize MPI cluster
     stopifnot(sfCpus()==cpus)        # Confirm set up CPUs properly
     stopifnot(sfParallel()==TRUE)    # Confirm now running in parallel

Cheers,
Phil
