Speeding up computations in R with parallel programming in the cloud

[@lucianomaldonado1577]

Thank you very much for that tutorial. It is perfect for running parallel code with R, on a local machine. In my case, after performing some tests on my local machine, now I want to work with a cluster that has my local machine as master and a VPS (which I already have) that is a worker, although I am thinking of placing several VPS as workers. On the VPS I have Rstudio, but I don't know how or where to indicate in the script on the local machine, that it communicate with the VPS. I suppose that in makeCluster I must put the IP of the VPS. I am working with the parallel package. I would appreciate it very much, if you can tell me, even in a general way, how to do that. Thank you.
