search for: makeforkcluster

Dear all, I?m working as an administrator of a High-Performance Computing (HPC) Cluster which runs on Linux. A lot of people are using R on this Linux cluster and, of course, the *parallel* package to speed up their computations. It has been our collective experience, that using |makeForkCluster| yields an overall better experience /on Linux/ than the |makePSOCKcluster|, for whatever definition of better. Let me just summarize that it works smoother. I believe, other people working with *parallel* on Linux can share this experience Also, we did really welcome the environment variable |MC_...

...ing users will increasingly start to run into forking related problems in RKWard and other environments. Therefore, I wish: - The warning from ?mcfork about potential complications should also be visible on the documentation pages for the higher level functions mcparallel(), mclapply(), but also makeForkCluster(). - It would be nice to have a way to tell library(parallel) that forking is a bad idea in the current session, so that - mcfork() could stop with an informative error message, or at least produce a warning; mclapply() could fall back to mc.cores=1 with a warning. - third party packages whic...
