How do you save the state of a computation in while using SNOW (or Multicore or ...)
- by James
From hard experience I've found it useful to occasionally save the state of my long computations to disk to start them up later if something fails. Can I do this in a distributed computation package in R (like SNOW or multicore)?
It does not seem clear how this could be done since the master is collecting things from the slaves in a non-transparent way.
