Dear all,

I usually run  R on my laptop with Windows XP Professional.
Now I really want to run  R on a computer cluster (4 processors) with 
Suse Linux Enterprise ver. 10.   But I  am new with computer cluster.


Should I modify my functions in order to use the greater 
performance 
and availability than that provided by my laptop?


Is there any R 
manual  on parallel computations on multiple-processor? 
Any suggestion 
on a basic tutorial on this topic? 

Thank you.
