[R-sig-hpc] Sun Grid Engine (SGE) and Rsge package

[Markus Schmidberger]

Hi,

we have a cluster with SGE, R, LAM/MPI, Rmpi and snow. And it is working
fine. But configuration of SGE was a long and stressful job.

I had a look to the Rsge job. I think first of all you need a working
SGE with MPI and R. The package will not help you to configure your SGE.

Best
Markus
