hipercow

NOTICE: This will only be of use to people at DIDE, as it uses our cluster web portal, local cluster, and local network file systems.

What is this?

This is a package for interfacing with the DIDE cluster directly from R. It is meant to make jobs running on the cluster appear as if they are running locally but asynchronously. The idea is to let the cluster appear as an extension of your own computer so you can get using it within an R project easily.

This package supercedes didehpc (2015-2023).
