Hi all, Is it possible to use the 'renice' option together with parallel clusters of type 'PSOCK'? The help page for parallel::makeCluster is not specific about which options are supported on which types and I am getting the following message when passing renice = 19 : > cl <- parallel::makeCluster(2, renice = 19) nice: ?+19?: No such file or directory Kind regards,

(Bcc: CRAN) This is a proposal helping CRAN and alike as well as individual developers to avoid stray R processes being left behind that might be produced when an example or a package test fails to set up a parallel::makeCluster(). ISSUE If a package test sets up a PSOCK cluster and then the master process dies for one reason or the other, the PSOCK worker processes will remain running for 30

Looks like a bug to me due to wrong assumptions about 'nice' arguments, but could be because a "non-standard" 'nice' is used. If we do: > trace(system, tracer = quote(print(command))) Tracing function "system" in package "base" we see that the system call used is: > cl <- parallel::makePSOCKcluster(2L, renice = 19) Tracing system(cmd, wait

Hi Henrik, Thanks for the detailed in fast reply! My guess would be that the confusion comes from the different use of nice and renice. The workraund you provided work fine! Thanks a lot.

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

Hi, I have sort of a newbie question. I've seriously put a lot of effort into how to handle simple replicates in a repeated ANOVA design, but haven't had much luck. I really liked reading "Notes on the use of R for psychology experiments and questionnaires", by Jonathan Baron and Yuelin Li ( http://www.psych.upenn.edu/~baron/rpsych/rpsych.html ) but still didn't run across

Greetings. How can I insert gridlines in the following density plot call? Must one compose a panel function?

Hello, I am using function makePSOCKcluster to make parallel computation on 3 EC2 Amazon machines. I have a passwordless between machines and ssh is correct. In the R 2.15.1 release this function works correctly. Installing R 3.0.1 on my EC2 machines makePSOCKcluster does not produce the cluster. If I run the function with outfile="" option, I obtain this message Error in

Dear All I have sucessfully created cluster of four nodes using localhost in my local machine by executing the following command > cl<-makePSOCKcluster(c(rep("localhost",4)),outfile='',homogeneous=FALSE,port=11001) starting worker pid=4271 on localhost:11001 at 12:12:26.164 starting worker pid=4280 on localhost:11001 at 12:12:26.309 starting worker pid=4289 on

Hi all, I can't get the functionality of the package parallel to work. Specifically, makeCluster() hangs when I run it. I first noticed the problem when trying to run Rstan with multiple cores and the traced it back to the core package parallel. The following results in R hanging after the call to makeCluster. library(parallel) # Calculate the number of cores no_cores <-

I'd like to pick up this thread started on 2019-04-11 (https://hypatia.math.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2019-April/077632.html). Modulo all the other suggestions in this thread, would my proposal of being able to disable forked processing via an option or an environment variable make sense? I've prototyped a working patch that works like: > options(fork.allowed = FALSE) >

Dear Henrik, thank you, for the quick reply. Bizarrely enough, the problem vanished when I woke the computer from sleep (I had previously replicated the problem after several restarts of both R and the MacOS). I will follow-up if I can again replicate the problem. Florian On 2/10/18 4:39 PM, Henrik Bengtsson wrote: > A few quick comments: > > * You mention R --vanilla, but make sure

Good day, I'm trying the example cl <- makeCluster(2, type = "SOCK") from the makeCluster documentation and the R command prompt never returns. I am using a 32-bit Windows 10 computer. The problem doesn't happen on another 64-bit Windows 10 computer but does happen on another 32-bit Windows 7 computer. Can anyone reproduce it? Are there any other options that can be passed to

Hi, While using R CMD check I get the following Latex error message which occurs when creating PDF version of manual: LaTex error: File `inconsolata.sty' not found I am using Windows 7 (64-bit) and R 3.0.1.

I know this is not a revolution support forum, but as anyone noticed the following? I have a foreach loop to generate random samples. If I run the exact code below in normal r (2.14.1) it works as expected, but if I run it from revolution 4.2.0 each loop returns the same numbers. The only way I can get revolution to give different numbers is using 1 instead of 8 in registerDoSNOW(makeCluster(8,

Dear list, I just realized that one of the examples given in the help page to the function makeCluster of the library(snow) has a small syntax error : ## to get started library(snow) ?makeCluster .. will open a halp page containing the command towards the end of the examples : cl <- makeCluster(c(rep(list(macOptions), 2), rep(list(lnxOptions), 2), rep(list(winOptions),
