Hi Sarah,<br><br>Sorry about the dead link, that was my mistake - it should work now.<br><br>It does indeed work. It's still very much in development, but the current version is quite dependable running on a single multi-core machine.<br>
<br>I haven't tested on a Mac yet, but it should work provided there is a Java 1.6+ VM and R 2.11+. It would be good to get confirmation that there aren't any funny mac-specific issues.<br><br>For your user it should be as simple as <br>
> swiftInit(cores=8)<br>to start up swift on 8 cores, then to apply a functino to a list of arguments<br>> arglists = list( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) # arguments for invocations of bootstrap<br>> results <- swiftapply(bootstrap, arglists)<br>
<br>If they have a dataset used by all instances of bootstrap, the following can work:<br>>swiftExport(hugeDataSet)<br>>swiftapply(bootstrap, arglists)<br><br>If they need to use a library:<br><br>> swiftLibrary(MyLibrary)<br>
