[Swift-user] Do you have any resource for learning about SwiftR?

[Michael Wilde]

Lorenzo,

The SwiftR documentation is currently at:

  http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/wiki/bin/view/SWFT/SwiftR

which also provides a quick start guide at:

  http://www.ci.uchicago.edu/wiki/bin/view/SWFT/SwiftRQuickstart

Further examples and some performance measurements are at:

  http://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~tga/swiftR/

And more examples are available with ?SwiftR help once you load the package:
> source("http://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~tga/swiftR/getSwift.R")

I just built an R-2.13.1 release on Beagle with plain gcc, which I think *should* be runnable in parallel on worker nodes. (Not yet tested though).  This R should be capable of running SwiftR.  Im hoping that Tim cam verify this soon. We'll likely need an additional SwiftR server name and config for Beagle and other Cray systems.

We'll try to consolidate the SwiftR documentation in a user guide on the Swift in the future. Tim, can you do a quick check of the documentation to make sure its still correct and that it points to the latest SwiftR package?

Thanks,

- Mike
