What is it and who is it for?

multiR is for people who are familiar with the statistical package 'R'.  It uses distributed computing techniques to enable parallelisation of r scripts, to speed up processing of r queries. 

 Note: If you wish to use multiR, please email us and we will talk to you about requirements.  multiR is free to use but does take some configuring.
