Hi Everyone, (Yes, I'm finally coming out of hibernation...)
Another approach to the problem, and one I adopted for RSOAP, involved pre-starting a single process which initialized R. Then anytime a request came in, the process forked, resulting in an immediate 'ready-to-go' process to do the work. -Greg -----Original Message----- From: Renato Alves [mailto:rjal...@igc.gulbenkian.pt] Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2009 4:37 AM To: RPy help,support and design discussion list Subject: Re: [Rpy] Keep rpy object loaded in memory after cgi script ends >From Paul Geeleher on 02/17/2009 03:56 PM: > This might sound a bit far out and is likely not possible but I > thought I'd ask anyway. > > I've got a series of python cgi scripts that do various operations on > data in an r session via rpy.

It's not the ideal solution since you need to read/write it but it's considerably faster. -- Renato Alves ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ rpy-list mailing list rpy-list@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rpy-list ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ rpy-list mailing list rpy-list@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rpy-list
