Rocky R Prime

Prime Number example code

R serial script

library(foreach)
registerDoSeq()

known_primes <- 
  c(2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31)

search_space <- 34:999

found_primes <- foreach(check_i= search_space, .combine=c() ) %do% {
  if(any((check_i %% known_primes )==0 ) return(list())
  return(list(check_i))
}

write.table(sort(c(known_primes, found_primes)), file="R_prime_serial.txt")

R parallel script

Naive version

library(foreach)
library(doParallel)

registerDoParallel(40)

known_primes <- 
  c(2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31)

search_space <- 34:999

found_primes <- foreach(check_i= search_space, .combine=c() ) %dopar% {
  if(any((check_i %% known_primes )==0 ) return(list())
  return(list(check_i))
}

write.table(sort(c(known_primes, found_primes)), file="R_prime_serial.txt")

Only check numbers ending in 1, 3, 7 and 9

library(foreach)
library(doParallel)

registerDoParallel(40)

known_primes <- 
  c(2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31)

search_space <- rep(3:99, each=4)*10 + rep(c(1,3,7,9), 97)

found_primes <- foreach(check_i= search_space, .combine=c() ) %dopar% {
  if(any((check_i %% known_primes )==0 ) return(list())
  return(list(check_i))
}

write.table(sort(c(known_primes, found_primes)), file="R_prime_serial.txt")

Running the Prime Number example

Uploading the code

The simple way to see this code is to clone the github repository:

[[ -e ~/git ]]  || mkdir ~/git  # Auto-create git subdirectory
cd ~/git                        # switch to git subdirectory
[[ -e r_prime_cluster ]] || git clone #GITHUB REPO URL
cd r_prime_cluster

Sanity check:

cat BLAH

Submitting the script

sbatch R-prime.srun

Looking at the results

Check the job queue, wait for job completion

squeue

Check log file:

ls -l R_prime_*.out

# just look at the latest output log
cat $( ls -t R_prime_*.out | head -n 1)

Check results file:

# Quick hash check verifying prime number sets are identical
md5sum $( ls -t R_prime_*.txt | head -n 3)
