High-performance computing in R at useR! 2008
The useR! 2008 meeting is about to commence. Although I am not able to go this year I will be keeping a close eye on the talks and slides that (I assume) will be posted. Last years useR! meeting (which … Continue reading

Painful week at WestGrid
WestGrid (Western Canada Research Grid) is a interconnected network of really juiced up computers, e.g. clusters, super computers, and high performance work stations, from 14 different partner institutions across four provinces in Western Canada. I tend to use some of … Continue reading

More bang for less buck (and in less space) – the fairy tale of the Microwulf
There is a post on Entertaining Research today about getting 1 Gflop for less than $100. Basically it’s about… Microwulf is a personal, portable Beowulf cluster, providing over 26 Gflops of measured performance, for less than $2500. Its dimensions are … Continue reading

119 days of number crunching…
Just checked on the 70000+ simulations I submitted to the Cow last night. The purpose of these runs is to explore a given system (the logistic growth model in this case) using different implementations of the stochastic simulation algorithm (aka … Continue reading
How I skin the cat
Because much of my work involve computationally intensive models I make extensive use of various High Performance Computing (HPC) resources, e.g. high-end work stations and simulation servers, distributed computing infrastructure and cluster based platforms. Some of the HPC resource I … Continue reading
