[R-sig-hpc] care to send me some big working example R on multiprocessor systems?

Hi Paul,
under http://www.rforge.net/ppso/ you'll find our PPSO package which is  
intended for optimization of functions (search for minima) using Particle  
Swarm Optimization or Dynamically Dimensioned Search.
Since it can be used in parallel mode using Rmpi (see optim_ppso_robust or  
optim_pdds_robust), and because the example problems given there are  
self-contained and can be inflated easily (simply increase number of  
parameters in sample functions or tighten abortion criteria), these may be  
of interest to you. If you need help, feel free to contact me.


regards,

Melwin
