Tim Armstrong, a CS PhD student working under Ian is developing and enhancing it. At the moments Tim is getting 400X speedup on 512-core cluster jobs on Eureka/ He's tuning it further, and will test and validate on Beagle shortly.<div><br></div><div>It would be great if you can have your user try it and report problems and questions back to swift-user for now where Tim and I can answer from. Later we may move or cc: the questions to an OpenMx list.</div><div><br></div><div>It would be good to know what the snowfall problems are so we can know more of the pitfalls of parallel R.</div><div><br></div><div>Tim and I are eager to get more users and validate that SwiftR works on many platforms.</div><div><br></div><div>Related: we'd like to try to replicate some of your large fMRI-SEM workflows under this. Could you suggest the best way to get started on that? (Ie, from a package of data and swift + shell scripts, Tim could transcribe the workflow to SwiftR).</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div><div>- Mike</div><div><br></div><div><div><hr id="zwchr"><blockquote style="border-left:2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255);margin-left:5px;padding-left:5px;">does this work? <a href="http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/wiki/bin/view/SWFT/SwiftR" target="_blank">http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/wiki/bin/view/SWFT/SwiftR</a><br><br>if so i have someone who might be interested in using it, he's just trying to run bootstrapping on an 8-core mac and getting frustrated with snowfall...i'd seen svn activity on this so thought i'd see if it was in a state where you might want someone to play around with it :) however, the download failed for me:<br>
