title: Is there a way to create a socket cluster of 64-bit instances?
body: <p>I am working on an application the uses <a href="http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/snowfall/index.html" rel="nofollow">Snowfall</a> to create a socket cluster. The master instance seems to be 64-bit but the slave instances are 32-bit. How do I get Snow/Snowfall to use 64-bit slave instances instead?</p>
