similar to: foreach not recognizing functions in memory

Dear All, I have three classes of questions about generating random numbers with different packages (windows xp 32bit R). . 1. Suppose I would like to use package *foreach*, can I use current Sys.time as a seed? Although I can get the time up to1e-6 second precesion, the code below dose not work well on a local machine with two cores. ################# library(foreach) library(snow)

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,

Hi all, Within a foreach loop with doSNOW, we cant call functions which come from the non-default package. We need to load(require/library) the package once more within the foreach loop. Anyone knows why would happen like this? Is it caused by the snow package and something happened when "snow" parallelize the job? Other than load the package once more with in the foreach loop, is

Hi useRs, I am running a foreach loop and hoped to get a small message when it hits a multiple of 1000, but it does not work. p <- foreach(i=1:10000, .combine='c') %dopar% { if(i%%1000==0) print(i) sqrt(i) } What is the proper way to do it. Thanks everybody. Stephen B [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Dear R-SIG-Debian, I am using R version 3.1.2 with rstudio-server 0.98.113 on debian build 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.68-1+deb7u1 x86_64 GNU/Linux. I often use the %dopar% operator in from the foreach package to run code in parallel. However, the only other use on the box seemingly installed a few items and suddenly %dopar% will use far more than the number of cores I am specifying and

Hi, I am trying to parallel computing with foreach function, but not able to get the result. I know that in parallel processing, all result is collected in list format, but I am not able to get input there. Any help is really appreciated. esf.m <-foreach (i = 1:n.s, .combine=rbind) %dopar% { EV <- as.data.frame(eig$vectors[,1:n.candid[i]]) colnames(EV) <- paste("EV",

Your code generates an error that has nothing to do with dopar. I have no idea what your function stack is supposed to do; you may be inadvertently calling utils::stack which would produce this kind of error: > stack(1:25, RAT = FALSE) Error in data.frame(values = unlist(unname(x)), ind, stringsAsFactors = FALSE) : arguments imply differing number of rows: 25, 0 HTH, Peter On Wed, Dec 6,

Hi there! I have become a big fan of the 'foreach' package allowing me to do a lot of stuff in parallel. For example, evaluating the function f on all elements in a vector x is easily accomplished: foreach(i=1:length(x),.combine=c) %dopar% f(x[i]) Here the .combine=c option tells foreach to combine output using the c()-function. That is, to return it as a vector. Today I discovered the

I have used foreach() for parallel computing but in the current problem, it is not working. Given the volume and type of the data involved in the analysis, I will try to give below the complete code without reproducible example. In short, each R environment will draw a set of separate files, perform the analysis and dump in separate folders. splist <- c("juoc", "juos",

Hi everyone, I'm working on a script trying to use foreach %dopar% but without success, so I manage to run the code with foreach %do% and looks like this: The code is part of a MCMC model for projects valuation, returning the most important results (VPN, TIR, EVA, etc.) of the simulation. foreach (simx = NsimT, .combine=cbind, .inorder=FALSE, .verbose=TRUE) %do% { MCPVMPA = MCVAMPA[simx]

Hi Everybody, Thanks in advance for your help. This is my first time using the foreach statement and I cant get it to work properly so here is what i have test<-function(){ repeat { cand2[l-1]<-rinvgamma(1,phi,lambda[l-1]) q2<-dinvgamma(cand2[l-1],phi,lambda[l-1]) p2<-cand2[l-1]^-1.5*exp(-y[l]^2/(2*cand2[l-1]))*exp(-((log(cand2[l-1])-mu_t_cand[l-1])^2)/2*sigmasq)

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

Hi all, I would like to parallelize some R code and would like to use the 'foreach' package with a foreach loop. However, whenever I call a function from an enabled package outside of MASS, I get an error message that a number of the functions aren't recognized (even though the functions should be defined). For example: library(foreach) library(doSMP) library(survival) # Create the

Hello, I'm running some code that requires untaring many files in the first step. This takes a lot of time and I'd like to do this in parallel, if possible. If it's the disk reading speed that is the bottleneck I guess I should not expect an improvement, but perhaps it's the processor. So I want to try this out. I'm working on windows 7 with R 2.15.1 and the latest foreach

Hi all, I'm trying to use the package read.table within a foreach loop. I'm grabbing 500M rows of data at a time from two different files and then doing an aggregate/tapply like function in read.table after that. I had planned on doing a foreach loop 39 times at once for the 39 files I have, but obviously that won't work until I figure out why the segfault is occurring. The

Hi, just during these vacation days, I'm trying to approach with multicore package and I have some troubles with foreach. ex. foreach(.combine=c, ii=1:200, jj=1:500) %dopar% makefunction[ii,jj] Command seem to work but if I see ii and jj value at the and of cycle, they are both 200 instead than ii=200 and jj=500. Why?? Can someone help me? Thank you in advance. Max -- View this

If the code you are running in parallel is complicated, maybe foreach is not sophisticated enough to find all the variables you refer to. Maybe use parallel::clusterExport yourself? But be a aware that passing parameters is much safer than directly accessing globals in parallel processing, so this might just be your warning to not do that anyway. -- Sent from my phone. Please excuse my brevity.

Hello all: Please help me with this "can't find object" issue. I'm trying to get leave-one-out predicted values for Beta-binomial regression. It may be the gamlss issue because the code seems to work when %do% is used. I have searched for similar issues, but haven't managed to figure it out. This is on Windows 10 platform. Thanks in advance, Nik #

some hints for the search engines. I just did install.packages("foreach") install.packages("doMC") library(doMC) registerDoMC() library(foreach) > foreach(i = 1:3) %dopar% sqrt(i) The process has forked and you cannot use this CoreFoundation functionality safely. You MUST exec(). Break on

Hi guys, I was wondering why this piece of code doesn't work: foreach (i = c(1.25,1.50)) %dopar% { assign(paste("test_",i,sep=""),i) } but, this does: foreach (i = c(1.25,1.50)) %do% { assign(paste("test_",i,sep=""),i) } Obviously, the difference is %dopar% vs. %do%. If I use %do%, I get objects test_1.25 and test_1.50, but I don't get these
