[Rsiena-help] Running RSiena on a computer cluster with Rmpi

[Tom Snijders]

Dear Mikko,

Thanks for all your posts!
I do not think that at this moment any work is planned on improving or extending the facilities for cluster computing in RSiena.

Best wishes,
Tom

Hi

There has been some discussion on this list regarding using RSiena on a computer cluster. The manual states that "To use more than one machine is more complicated, but it can be done by using, in addition, the clusterString parameter. The computers need to be running incoming ssh." (p. 31)

Is support for Rmpi planned? The cluster that I have does not allow ssh login to the slave nodes. I think that it is a fairly common scenario that the the slaves are managed by a work load manager and made available through Rmpi, but not direct login.

Mikko
