Hi R users:

I am a newbie to parallel computing. I am curious how to run R in Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) for a huge computation-intensive task.


I know there are some R packages, e.g. snow and snowfall, to coordinate multi-core and multi-unit. So far, I have only worked out to use all the CPUs in my single computer. I assume that some commercial service are available for such demand and I do not to have work on the details for setting up the computing cloud.

Please be kind to share some information.

Thanks a lot.

Wei-han
