remoteConstructRnormVector: Create Distributed Vector or Matrix of Random Normals

Description

remoteConstructRnormVector constructs a distributed vector of standard normal random variables, while remoteConstructRnormMatrix constructs a distributed matrix. The output object can both be contained within environments or ReferenceClass objects as well as the global environment on the slave processes.

Usage

remoteConstructRnormVector(objName, objPos = ".GlobalEnv", n, h = 1)
 remoteConstructRnormMatrix(objName, objPos = ".GlobalEnv", n1, n2, h1 = 1, h2 = 1)

Arguments

objName

the name to use for the vector or matrix, on the slave processes.

objPos

where to do the assignment of the output matrix or vector, given as a character string (unlike assign). This can indicate an environment or a ReferenceClass object.

n

a positive integer, the length of the vector

h

a positive integer, the block replication factor, \(h\), relevant for the vector

n1

a positive integer, the number of rows of the matrix.

n2

a positive integer, the number of columns of the matrix.

h1

a positive integer, the block replication factor, \(h\), relevant for the rows of the matrix.

h2

a positive integer, the block replication factor, \(h\), relevant for the columns of the matrix.

Warning

Note that a vector and a one-column matrix are stored differently, with padded columns included for the matrix. For other distributed computation functions, providing the argument n2 = NULL indicates the input is a vector, while n2 = 1 indicates a one-column matrix.
