Simple Parallel R INTerface
Description
SPRINT (Simple Parallel R INTerface) is a parallel
framework for R. It provides a High Performance Computing (HPC)
harness which allows R scripts to run on HPC clusters. SPRINT
contains a library of selected R functions that have been
parallelized. Functions are named after the original R function
with the added prefix 'p', i.e. the parallel version of cor()
in SPRINT is called pcor(). Call to the parallel R functions
are included directly in standard R scripts.
SPRINT contains functions for correlation (pcor), partitioning around medoids (ppam),
apply (papply), permutation testing (pmaxT), bootstrapping (pboot), random forest (prandomForest),
rank product (pRP) and hamming distance (pstringdistmatrix).
