Dear R HPC Users,

I'm trying to parallelize a code on 4 nodes(type = "SOCK"). Here is my code.


    library(itertools)
    library(foreach)
    library(doParallel)
    library(parallel)

    workers <- ip address of 4 nodes
    cl = makePSOCKcluster(workers, master="ip address of master")
    registerDoParallel(cl)

    z <- read.csv("ProcessedData.csv", header=TRUE, as.is=TRUE)
    z <- as.matrix(z)


    system.time({
      chunks <- getDoParWorkers()
      b <- foreach (these = isplitIndices(nrow(z),
                                          chunks=chunks),
                    .combine = c) %dopar% {
                      a <- rep(0, length(these))
                      for (i in 1:length(these)) {
                        a[i] <- mean(z[these[i],])
                      }
                      a
                    }
    })





I get this error..4 nodes produced errors; first error: object
'.doSnowGlobals' not found. This code runs fine if I'm using doMC i.e using
the same machine's cores. But when I try to use other computers for
parallel computing I get the above error. When I change it to
registerDoSNOW the error persists.

Does snow and DoSNOW work in a cluster? I could create nodes on the
localhost using snow but not on the cluster. Anyone out there using snow?

Thanks in advance.
