This package is for Simple Network of Workstations (SNOW). Let's take a look at a program associated with destruction:
library(snow)
cl <- makeSOCKcluster(c("localhost","localhost"))
clusterApply(cl, 1:2, get("+"), 3)
clusterEvalQ(cl, library(boot))
x<-1
clusterExport(cl, "x")
clusterCall(cl, function(y) x + y, 2)
The makeSOCKcluster() function is used to start and stop a snow cluster and to set default cluster options. The clusterApply() calls the function on the first cluster node with arguments seq[[1]] and ..., on the second node with seq[[2]] and ..., and so on. If the length of seq is greater than the number of nodes in the cluster, then cluster nodes are recycled. A list of the results is returned; the length of the ...
