Example, of using the parallel module to run MPI jobs under SLURM with Rmpi library.

# Load the R MPI package if it is not already loaded.
if (!is.loaded("mpi_initialize")) {
    library("Rmpi")
    }

ns <- mpi.universe.size() - 1
mpi.spawn.Rslaves(nslaves=ns)
#
# In case R exits unexpectedly, have it automatically clean up
# resources taken up by Rmpi (slaves, memory, etc...)
.Last <- function(){
       if (is.loaded("mpi_initialize")){
           if (mpi.comm.size(1) > 0){
               print("Please use mpi.close.Rslaves() to close slaves.")
               mpi.close.Rslaves()
           }
           print("Please use mpi.quit() to quit R")
           .Call("mpi_finalize")
       }
}
# Tell all slaves to return a message identifying themselves
mpi.bcast.cmd( id <- mpi.comm.rank() )
mpi.bcast.cmd( ns <- mpi.comm.size() )
mpi.bcast.cmd( host <- mpi.get.processor.name() )
mpi.remote.exec(paste("I am",mpi.comm.rank(),"of",mpi.comm.size()))

# Test computations
x <- 5
x <- mpi.remote.exec(rnorm, x)
length(x)
x

# Tell all slaves to close down, and exit the program
mpi.close.Rslaves(dellog = FALSE)
mpi.quit()


Example job script using rmpi_test.R script.

#!/bin/sh
#SBATCH --job-name=mpi_job_test # Job name
#SBATCH --mail-type=END,FAIL # Mail events (NONE, BEGIN, END, FAIL, ALL)
#SBATCH --mail-user=ENTER_YOUR_EMAIL_HERE # Where to send mail	
#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=1 # Number of cores per MPI rank 
#SBATCH --nodes=2 #Number of nodes
#SBATCH --ntasks=8 # Number of MPI ranks
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=4 #How many tasks on each node
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-socket=2 #How many tasks on each CPU or socket
#SBATCH --distribution=cyclic:cyclic #Distribute tasks cyclically on nodes and sockets
#SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=1gb # Memory per processor
#SBATCH --time=00:05:00 # Time limit hrs:min:sec
#SBATCH --output=mpi_test_%j.out # Standard output and error log

For rmpi/4.0 module the following command will work

mpiexec -n ${SLURM_NTASKS} Rscript rmpi_test.R


Link the /apps/rmpi/conf/Rprofile as .Rprofile in the current directory configuration file that must be placed in the working directory if the rmpi module doesn't add a symlink automatically.

ln -s /apps/rmpi/conf/Rprofile .Rprofile
