The upcoming BiG Grid R portal

Rlogo.jpg

To make using the grid easier, we're working a portal for users of the statistical programming language R. It's a web interface for your jobs, and a module for R. Plus some tools and language bindings to interact with the jobs.

As a bonus, you can also use it to run R on a GPU cluster.

The R portal is not a production service yet. We're currently looking for R users who want to help us to make it work smoothly in a real-world setting. If you're interested, please drop me a mail.

What's inside

The system is based on the Leiden Grid Intrastructure (LGI). It interacts with the grid using pilotjobs (read more).

On the grid, R 2.11 and 2.12 are available; the gpu cluster has versions 2.12 and 2.13.

Extra packages installed: (none at the moment)
Extra packages on the GPU cluster: Rcpp, Rgpu
(you can still use install.packages() to install extra packages right now)
