Parallel Computing

> library (snowfall)

# initialize cluster

> sfInit (parallel=TRUE , cpus=4)

# parallel computing

> result <- sfLapply(1:10, log)

# stop cluster

> sfStop ()

Simply replace "1:10" and "log" with your parameter and function to make you own parallel computing.

Function sfLapply() is a parallelized version of lapply(). Some other fuctions are sfSapply, sfApply, sfRapply and sfCapply.

More examples on data mining with R can be found in my book "R and Data Mining: Examples and Case Studies", which is downloadable as a .PDF file at the link.
