[Markus Schmidberger]

Dear R HPC users and experts,

cloudnumbers.com provides researchers and companies with the resources
to perform high performance calculations in the cloud. As
cloudnumbers.com's community manager I may invite you to register and
test R on a computer cluster in the cloud for free:

Our aim is to change the way of research collaboration is done today by
bringing together scientists and businesses from all over the world on a
single platform. cloudnumbers.com is a Berlin (Germany) based
international high-tech startup striving for enabling everyone to
benefit from the High Performance Computing related advantages of the
cloud. We provide easy access to applications running on any kind of
computer hardware: from single core high memory machines up to 1000
cores computer clusters.

Our platform provides several advantages:

* Turn fixed into variable costs and pay only for the capacity you need.
