The upcoming BiG Grid R portal

Rlogo.jpg

To make using the grid easier, we're working on developing a portal for users of the statistical programming language R. It's a web interface and to 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 for them. 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).
