I am fairly sure that this topic has been covered before. However, I can't find \
answer to my questions in the archive...

I have a very embarrassingly parallel computing tasks (we are doing ~13,000 anovas \
and ~48,000 t.tests) that could benefits from using the snow packages parLapply() \
function.

Does anyone knows whether I could use MPI or PVM to send jobs to the 8 cores of my \
MacPro using snow or MPI/PVM has to be absolutely install and run across multiple \
machine. Is there an alternative that I could use to take advantage of my 8 cores \
with R?

Thanks

Marco
