similar to: R/parallel

Hello, The problem I'm working now requires to operate on big matrices. I've noticed that there are some packages that allows to run some commands in parallel. I've tried snow and NetWorkSpaces, without much success (they are far more slower that the normal functions) My problem is very simple, it doesn't require any communication between parallel tasks; only that it divides

Hi, I would like to get suggestion about parallel computing package on a multicore windows workstation. I tried doSMP, but it crashes R a lot. I am wondering if "snow" and "snowfall" can be used on a single workstation (i,e, not cluster). At suggestion would be appreciated, Best, Richard [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, in R 2.12.1, R CMD check hangs when building a vignette that uses a foreach loop with the doMC parallel backend. This does not happen in R 2.13.1, nor if I use doSEQ instead of doMC. All versions of multicore, doMC and foreach are the same on both my R installations. Has anybody encountered a similar issue? Thank you.

Has anyone successfully compiled pnmath (http://www.stat.uiowa.edu/~luke/R/experimental ) for an intel processor running mac OS 10.5? When I attempt to do so via the R package installer (choosing "Local Source Package" and pointing to the pnmath_0.0-2.tar.gz file), I get the following errors: * Installing *source* package 'pnmath' ... ** libs ** arch - i386 gcc -arch i386

(1) ...need to speed up a monte-carlo sampling...any suggestions about how I can get R to use all 8 cores of a mac pro would be most useful and very appreciated... (2) spent the last few hours trying to get pnmath to compile under os- x 10.5.4... using gcc version 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5553) as downloaded from CRAN, xcode 3.0... ...xcode 3.1 installed over top of above after

Dear Sir or Madam, I've been using R for one year and I really appreciate it. I would like to know if a version performing parallel computations on multicore computers and computer clusters exists. Thank you very much. Yours sincerely. Enrico Giorgi _________________________________________________________________ [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello, I am trying to run a small example with foreach, but I am having some problems. Here is the code: *library(doMC) registerDoMC() zappa = list() frank = list() foreach (i = 1:4) %dopar% { zappa[[i]] = kmeans (iris[-5],4) frank[[i]] = warnings() }* The code runs without error. However the zappa and frank will be empty lists. If I use regular *for *instead, the list will be filled up

Hello All, In general when we use Rprof for performance evaluation on Multicore systems the output provides the time on the basis of the "user" time and the sampling time is equal to the the user time as reported by system.time. This does not seem right behavior when R is linked to BLAS/Lapack or other libraries which are optimized for parallel or multicore architectures as

Hello I am fortunate (or in really big trouble) in that the research group I work with will soon be receiving several high end dual quad core machines. We will use the Ubuntu OS on these. We intend to use this cluster for some extensive modeling applications. Our programming guru has demonstrated the ability to link much simpler machines to share CPUs and we purchased the new ones to take

dear R experts--- I am experimenting with multicore processing, so far with pretty disappointing results. Here is my simple example: A <- 100000 randvalues <- abs(rnorm(A)) minfn <- function( x, i ) { log(abs(x))+x^3+i/A+randvalues[i] } ?## an arbitrary function ARGV <- commandArgs(trailingOnly=TRUE) if (ARGV[1] == "do-onecore") { ?library(foreach) ?discard <-

I have an "embarrassingly parallel" routine that I need to run 24000^2/2 times (based on some microarray data). All I really need to do is parallelize a nested for-loop. But I haven't found a clear list of what packages/commands I'd need to do this. I've got a dual quad core xeon system running RHEL5, so if I could use hyperthreading to increase the number of (virtual)

1.what is the application to install for to speed up processing for multicore processor in windows environment? 2. how to compute time for executing a particular a code? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Sir, I want to apply mclapply() function for my analysis. So, I have to install multicore package. But I can not install the package. >install.packages("multicore") It gives that package multicore is not available. Can you help me? Regards, Suman Dhara [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear users, The company where I work is considering getting a license for Revolution Enterprise - Windows 64-bit. I'll appreciate for those familiar with the product if can share your experiences with it? In particular, how does it compare to the "free" version of R 64-bit? Thanks in advance. Regards, Lars.

Hi, I want to parallelize some computations when it's possible on multicore machines. Each computation produces a big objects that I don't want to store if not necessary: in the end only the object that best fits my data have to be returned. In non-parallel mode, a single gloabl object is updated if the current computation gets a better result than the best previously found. My plan

On a Unix machine I ran caret::rfe using the multicore package, and I saved the resulting object using save(lm2, file = "lm2.RData"). [Reproducible example below.] When I try to load("lm2.RData") on my Windows laptop, I get Error in loadNamespace(name) : there is no package called 'multicore' I completely understand the error and I would like to ignore it and

Hello, I compiled R-2.15.2 with linux intel compilers (see below). when I execute some R code on a // 4 proc x 4 cores // server (export MKL_NUM_THREADS = 16) very often I have the situations where only one processor (4 cores) is active instead of 4 (16 cores) ! do you know this fact depends on what ? thank you ! P.S. many functions of R are single-threaded, is there a simple way to make them

It is so difficult ... Which FE? It need BE support? I didn't get it. 2010/8/4 vijay kumar <vijaygbvv at gmail.com> > Yeah OpenMP support.
