The upcoming BiG Grid R portal
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.
- Visit the R portal (contact wvengen+lgi@nikhef.nl for an account)
- read more about the Rlgi module for R.
- Slides of the R portal presentation at the BioAssist meeting of Feb, 2012.
What's inside
The system is based on the Leiden Grid Intrastructure (LGI). It interacts with the grid using pilotjobs (read more).
- Leiden Grid Infrastructure LGI (original source), including a number of tools
- lgipilot pilotjob manager
- R portal source
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)
