[R-sig-hpc] Snow Not Distributing

[Stephen Weston]

Have you verified that Torque is allocating multiple nodes for your job?
If so, are you using some sort of mpirun command to execute your
R script?  Are you using one of the mpirun --hostfile or --machinefile
options to tell mpirun what nodes to execute on, or are you depending
on MPI/Torque integration to get the allocated hosts?  Open MPI must
be configured with the --with-tm option for Torque integration, for example.
