Abstract:In this paper, we describe an extension to the ACGT GridR environment which allows the parallelization of loops in R scripts in view of their distributed execution on a computational grid. The ACGT GridR service is extended by a component that uses a set of preprocessor-like directives to organize and distribute calculations. The use of parallelization directives as special R comments provides users with the potential to accelerate lengthy calculations with changes to preexisting code.The GridR service and its… Show more
