LSPM on R on Xgrid

[TradingPro]

Over the past month I have had our network migrated to Open Directory
hosted by OS X Lion servers.

As we also now have a number of OSX/Windows devices on the network
(and inspired by the previous thread on the possibility of running R
in the cloud) I have been looking at the possibility of leveraging
current available processing assets to run LSPM.

Am currently looking at:

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/runjags/index.html
[A set of utility functions ….. arbitrary R code submission to Xgrid
clusters (requires Mac OS X). ….. Utilities to run user-supplied R
functions on Xgrid (using xapply as a replacement for lapply) are also
included, and do not require JAGS.]

there is also:

http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/xgrid/index.html
[Functions to distribute and collate results from simulation studies
and other computationally expensive tasks to Apple Xgrid clusters from
within R]
