We recently posted randomForestSRC on CRAN. It uses OpenMP in the native code extensively. We set the default number of cores to two (2), but we typically run it at the maximum (omp_get_max_threads()) during analysis. Currently, users need to set options(), set an environment variable, or edit their .Rprofile to use more than two cores. We followed the protocol for mc.cores in mclapply() in

Apologies for any obtuseness in the following. We have been working on Version 2.0 of the randomSurvivalForest CRAN package and we're encountering a perplexing 'memory not mapped' segfault that we believe is "influenced" by GC. We essentially have two R functions, rsf.default(..), and predict.rsf(..) and two corresponding entry points, rsfGrow(...), and rsfPredict(...),

Dear useRs, Release 1.0.0 of the new R package 'randomSurvivalForest' is now available on CRAN and its mirrors. The package implements Ishwaran and Kogalur's Random Survival Forests algorithm for right censored survival data. The algorithm is closely patterned after Breiman's random forests, but suitably modified for the survival setting. Some key features are: o An ensemble

Dear useRs: The latest build of randomForestSRC (2.5.1) includes a configuration file that switches on the -fopenmp tag during compilation on systems that support OpenMP parallel processing. Previously, to achieve parallel processing, we required the additional step of executing an autoconf command before compiling and installing the package from source. We also believe the binaries provided by
