Using RStudio on the Discovery Cluster

This document explains how you can quickly iterate your R code versions for an  RStudio session on the Discovery HPC Cluster using a local code editor  and remote HPC processing. This is helpful  for exploring your data to refine the analysis you want to perform at scale on the HPC cluster.

The iterative process:

• SMB mount the  DartFS directory you want to work with
  •   How-to Links:  SMB Knowledge Base articles
• use RStudio locally

The development to test workflow is:

• Have a terminal window available on a submit node
• Edit your SMB-mounted file(s)  locally in RStudio
•  Cmd+S to save

Cmd+Tab to switch to the terminal,. then  submit a new job.
