Dear list,
Does the snowfall package work under Windows 7?
Recently I upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7, and at the same time
upgraded R from 2.8.1 to 2.10. On my machine (Intel i7 based) snowfall worked
perfectly on my previous installation, but after the upgrade the same scripts do
not work.
When I issue e.g.
sfInit(parallel=T, cpus=2) # (or 'cpus=7', which I often used before as
the processor has 8 cores)
R appears to be working, but uses no processor power. It stays like that (have
waited many minutes) until I interrupt by hitting the Esc-key. After that it has
not initiated parallel computing.
Is snowfall incompatible with Windows 7 or is there something I can do?
