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.


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 typical 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

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.


[username@login01 ~]$ module add R/3.3.0
[username@login01 ~]$ R

  Natural language support but running in an English locale

R is a collaborative project with many contributors.
Type 'contributors()' for more information and
'citation()' on how to cite R or R packages in publications.

Type 'demo()' for some demos, 'help()' for on-line help, or
'help.start()' for an HTML browser interface to help.
Type 'q()' to quit R.

Libraries

To show the libraries included type ( within R ) the command : library()


Packages in library ‘/trinity/clustervision/CentOS/7/apps/R/3.3.0/lib64/R/library’:

ggplot2                 Create Elegant Data Visualisations Using the
                        Grammar of Graphics

Installing Additional Libraries

If you need an additional library installed that would be used by more than just yourself, contact the Viper team on help@hull.ac.uk with the details of the library and the version of R you require it for.

Alternatively, you can install a R library into your own personal 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/3.3.0/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
