UseR! 2008 talk

Besides the slides from the tutorial at UseR! 2008 that were mentioned here previously, I also gave a short talk on scripting with R in high-performance computing using our littler frontend to R.

The talk introduces and extends an example related to some of the material from the tutorial itself. The slides from the talk are a little rough as the talk was somewhat ad-hoc: As session chair, I was confronted with a fairly last-minute cancellation and a 15 minute hole, and thought this would make a good little talk. It does show a nice trick for using littler with Open MPI (via snow) under the powerful slurm resource manager and batch/queue engine.
