Well, I hesitate to discuss things like this on Rhelp, but I can tell you about my experiences with them.
I have worked with them a bit. They have done R programming for my company. For example, when odfWeave moved from heavy grepping to using the xml package, they wrote the state-based xml parsing code (which was not simple). I've been pretty happy with their work. I think that their strong suit are their parallel processing libraries (see the nws package). I have been using those for a while now (see the caretNWS package for example) and they work well. They also have commercial versions of packages apart from nws. I don't have any information about their commercially supported version of R John - if you like, I can forward this thread to my contacts there. (These are my opinions and not those of my company; I don't work for them, etc etc.) Max On Jan 26, 2008 7:47 PM, John Kane <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > http://www.revolution-computing.com/revolution_company.html > > seems to lead to something albeit vague. > > Lots of apparently big names but no indication of what > added value the company might bring to an R user. > > > --- John Maindonald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > Does anyone know any more than is in the following > > press release > > about REvolution Computing and their > > commercialization of R? > > > > > http://www.intel.com/capital/news/releases/080122.htm > > > > "Intel Capital, the global investment arm of Intel > > Corporation, today > > announced that it has invested in the Series A > > financing of REvolution > > Computing, creator of parallel computing software > > for computational > > statistics" > > > > "R has become the de-facto statistical language and > > REvolution > > Computing's R-based solutions provide the necessary > > scale and support > > for its growing commercial usage,� said Andre M. > > Boisvert, Revolution > > Computing board member. �With this investment, > > Revolution Computing > > can deliver the type of performance that has been > > missing in existing > > computational statistics offerings." > > > > "For more information on Revolution Computing, RPro, > > and ParallelR, > > visit > > www.revolution-computing.com" > > > > At present though, unless you have better success > > than me, all you > > will get from the Revolution Computing site is a > > revolutionary song! > > > > John Maindonald email: > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > phone : +61 2 (6125)3473 fax : +61 2(6125)5549 > > Centre for Mathematics & Its Applications, Room > > 1194, > > John Dedman Mathematical Sciences Building (Building > > 27) > > Australian National University, Canberra ACT 0200. > > > > ______________________________________________ > > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > > PLEASE do read the posting guide > > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, > > reproducible code. > > > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. > -- Max ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
