Programming Details

R is a programming language and software environment for statistical analysis, graphics representation, and reporting.

R is freely available under the GNU General Public License and can be loaded as a module on Viper (with Linux), Windows (PC), and Mac.

• R has versions 3.5.1 and R/4.0.2. (Earlier versions will be retired)

R-Studio is also provided as an interactive session on Viper for R-Studio.

Programming example

x <- c(151, 174, 138, 186, 128, 136, 179, 163, 152, 131)
y <- c(63, 81, 56, 91, 47, 57, 76, 72, 62, 48)

# Apply the lm() function.
relation <- lm(y~x)

print(relation)

Modules Available

The following modules are available:

• module add R/3.4.1

Batch Mode

The SLURM batch file would typically look like the one below, in this case, it would be named 'rscript.job'.

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH -J compute-single-node
#SBATCH -N 1
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node 1
#SBATCH -D /home/pysdlb/CODE_SAMPLES/R
#SBATCH -o %N.%j.%a.out
#SBATCH -e %N.%j.%a.err
#SBATCH -p compute
#SBATCH --mail-user= your email address here

echo $SLURM_JOB_NODELIST

module purge
module add R/3.4.1

export I_MPI_DEBUG=5
export I_MPI_FABRICS=shm:tmi
export I_MPI_FALLBACK=no

Rscript r.rsc

To run this on the cluster you would need to invoke the command sbatch rscript.job

Interactive Mode

The program is interpreted by the R runtime program, so compilation does not apply here.

Installing Additional Libraries

If you need an additional library installed that would be used by more than just yourself, contact the Viper team by raising a support ticket with the details of the library and the version of R you require it for.

Alternatively, you can install an R library into your library. Within R run the install.packages command with the package you wish to install.

> install.packages("R.matlab")
Warning in install.packages("R.matlab") :
  'lib = "/trinity/clustervision/CentOS/7/apps/R/4.0.2/lib64/R/library"' is not writable
Would you like to use a personal library instead?  (y/n) y
Would you like to create a personal library
~/R/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-library/3.3
to install packages into?  (y/n) y
