...<< NUM_CPUS) threaded operation? Using R 3.3.1 (both in debian unstable or using the CRAN repository for xenial) with OpenBLAS (0.2.18) defaults to using one thread per available CPU, which isn't ideal for machines more than a couple of CPUs. Setting the environment (OMP_NUM_THREADS or OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS) in the shell works: $ OMP_NUM_THREADS=1 R > Sys.getenv("OMP_NUM_THREADS") [1] "1" > system.time({x <- replicate(5e3, rnorm(5e3)); tcrossprod(x) }) [runs in one thread] but adding it to /etc/R/Renviron.site doesn't: $ R > Sys.getenv("OMP_NUM_THREADS&quot...

Thanks a lot. Running export OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS = 1 in the bash before starting R solves both problems! Cheers, Daniel

Hi, Create /etc/profile.d/openblas.sh. Write the following during in this file. OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS = 1 export OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS environment variable does not affect the OMP_NUM_THREADS. 2016-08-01 20:06 GMT+09:00 Gordon Ball <gordon at chronitis.net>: > What is the correct way to globally configure R to default to single (or > at least, << NUM_CPUS)...

Dear all, I run different R versions (3.2.1, 3.2.2 and 3.2.3) on different platforms (Arch, Ubuntu, Debian) with a different number of available cores (24, 4, 24). The following line produces very different behavior on the three machines: for(i in 1:1e6) {n <- 100; M <- matrix(rnorm(n^2), n, n); M %*% M} On the Ubuntu and Arch machine one core is used, but on the Debian machine ALL

...seconds to ninety seconds because of competition for CPUs between users. Also, there is no mention of such parallel processing in ?confint, so it was not clear at first where to look for performance degradation. It could at least be described in the manual page so that users would know that export OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS=1 is a solution. -------------------------------------- Dario Strbenac University of Sydney Camperdown NSW 2050 Australia

Dear all, Now that the upcoming Debian release "buster" is frozen, I have started supplying backports for it. Pending mirror synchronisations, R 3.6.0 is now available for Debian buster on i386 and amd64 architectures. Please refer to https://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/debian/ for details. At the moment I am not providing binaries for the arm architecture for buster, as the SD

There isn't much R can do about the behaviour of the BLAS, because there is no standard interface to set the number of threads. Some BLASes (like ATLAS) don't even offer it as a tunable number at all [*]. A system administrator could link the installation of R against Fl...

...gfortran in testing/unstable, there are problems with the R BLAS/LAPACK API entries using a Fortran interface (and hence in particular when using the BLAS and LAPACK sources that ship with R). It seems I can avoid these using OpenBLAS (but then this really only works find for me provided I setenv OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS=1). -k > Dear all, > Now that the upcoming Debian release "buster" is frozen, I have started > supplying backports for it.

....debian.org/DebianScience/LinearAlgebraLibraries As far as I know reference blas and lapack are still single threaded. Alternatively, you may be able to control the maximum number of threads by setting and exporting an appropriate environment variable depending on what backend you are using, e.g. OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS or MKL_NUM_THREADS.

Has anyone succeeded in getting a parallel BLAS, such as Goto's BLAS, installed on a machine running Ubuntu 11.10? I currently have the libatlas3gf-base package installed on a machine with an AMD Athlon X4 processor. I tried to install the libopenblas-base and libopenblas-dev packages but there seemed to be a glich related to having both libopenblas and libatlas3gf installed so that when I
